SUMMARY:Sarah Petite\, The Line is the Canon
DESCRIPTION:“In 2015\, for the second time in my long practice\, I became impatient with the eternal rectangle. I began experimenting with shapes\, cut from plywood and intruded with meandering jigsaw ‘lines’. Everything the jigsaw does is like a line that can’t ever be erased. It’s the given\, the canon. The paint has to answer to it.\n\nA shape in my head becomes a sketch\, becomes a plywood cutout\, becomes a photograph\, becomes a more precise sketch\, printed out\, for plotting the painting – which sometimes takes a few days before I pounce. Gazing at the beautiful shape. The paint – its colours\, how it is applied\, how its expression responds to the shape\, is the project. \nIt’s true\, my paintings are about encaustic paint\, they reflect my fascination with its virtuosity\, and the beauty and richness to be found in its effects. The process itself is what has kept me loyal to this medium for many years.” Sarah Petite \nFor a YouTube introduction to Sarah\, Click Here \nBorn Pennsylvania\, U.S.A.\, Sarah grew up near Boston and then settled in Canada\, receiving Canadian citizenship in 1971. Sarah attended the Nova Scotia College of Art And Design\, graduating with a BFA in Painting and in 1985 she studied Art History (early Christian\, 12th century European\, 16th century Italian architecture)\, at the University of East Anglia\, Norwich\, England. Sarah is represented at Gallery on Queen\, Fredericton and is in major public and private collections in Canada. Having lived in various parts of Canada\, Singapore\, Italy\, and England\, she currently splits her time between Port Maitland\, Nova Scotia and Fredericton NB. \nSarah began encaustic painting\, and was largely self-taught. She won the Marie Hélène Allain Fellowship Award from the Sheila Hugh MacKay Foundation  in 2022 for her encaustic work. As part of its mandate to promote the visual arts in New Brunswick\, the SHMF recognises the accomplishments of mid-career New Brunswick artists who are engaged in the exploration and deepening of their creative endeavour. The jury was convinced by the accomplishments and perseverance Sarah demonstrates in discovering new directions through considered engagement with her materials and process\, revealing a practice that contributes to and is in discourse with modernist painting traditions. \nYour Content Goes Here \n“With encaustic\, ‘hot’\, or melted\, means ‘wet’. Beeswax and pigment are combined in a small can (tomato paste\, actually)\, melted down and dipped into. I use natural-bristle brushes whose long handles have been sawn off\, to allow them to stand ready in the paint without tipping the can over. The paint stays ‘wet’ for about ten seconds\, after which I must dip again\, or may begin to cut and sculpt\, using a variety of tools. The heat gun allows me to re-melt the paint right on the panel\, making for textural enhancements like troweling\, stippling or puddling”. Sarah Petite

SUMMARY:Raku Workshop with Tim Isaac & Jenna Ross
DESCRIPTION:No experience necessary – all are welcome! \nJoin artists Tim Isaac and Jenna Ross for a hands-on Raku workshop that brings fire\, clay\, and creativity together in an unforgettable outdoor experience. Whether you are a seasoned potter or new to ceramics\, this is your chance to take part in the magic of Raku firing from pulling red-hot pots from the kiln to watching dramatic finishes emerge in real time. \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW: \n\nDates: Saturday & Sunday\, June 14-15\, 2025\nTime: June 14: 9AM-5PM\, June 15: 9AM-3PM\nFee: $200 per person. (Includes two full days of instruction\, all materials\, and your finished pieces to take home.) *No refunds for cancellations within 7 days of the workshop.\nLocation: Jenna’s house in Knowlesville\nTo register: Call 506-392-6769 or email: info@mccainartgallery.com\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Your pots must be made and bisque-fired BEFORE the workshop. \nThis is essential so your pieces are ready for the Raku process. \nHOW TO PREPARE YOUR POTS: \nAll participants must create and bisque-fire their pots ahead of the workshop. We’re offering two options to help you get ready\, both with instruction & support from Jenna\, and both are held at the River Art Centre. (8746 Main Street\, Florenceville-Bristol) \nOption 1: “Make it” Day \nSaturday\, May 24\, 12PM-4PM \nOption 2: Clay Drop-in Sessions \nThursday\, May 29 OR June 5\, 6pm-8pm \nMeet Tim! \n \n“I’m originally from Brandon\, Manitoba. I found my passion for clay about 35 years ago in Winnipeg\, where I took a class with some inspiring young professional potters. My love for clay deepened in Waterloo\, Ontario. I became a member of the local Potters’ Co-op while also finishing a degree at the University of Waterloo.” \nMeet Jenna! \n"Hi\, I'm Jenna and I have a deep love of clay! As it turns out\, I love getting my hands dirty. The walls of my home are even (unintentionally) covered in clay. I continue to be amazed at all the things this wonderful material can do. I've been drawn to the magical art of clay shape-shifting on the wheel from a blob to a form since I first watched a potter as a kid." \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN: \n\nThe dramatic process of Raku firing.\nNatural burnt-surface decoration using the Obvara technique.\nHow to use feathers and horsehair for striking carbon markings.\n\nWhat is Raku?\nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red hot posts and combustible materials which can create dramatic effects. Raku dates back to 16th century Japan\, although "Western-style raku" has put its own variations on the technique. Raku firing is known for its unpredictability\, and each piece is one-of-a-kind! Raku firing is one of the most natural pottery techniques\, embracing imperfection and employing all of nature's elements: earth\, fire\, air\, and water. \nThe work raku translated to English means: 'happiness in the accident'\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, delight!
