SUMMARY:Clay Drop-in
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’ve got a current project or are a brand-newbie  wanting to explore clay\,  join instructor Jenna Ross & other friendly clay-lovers for a casual evening of creativity at the River Art Centre & Studios.\n\nNo registration required. Basic instruction is provided to get you started. ….Bring your ideas\, gusto\, project dreams & we’ll see what happens!\n\nFee to attend each Drop-in is $5 per person. The first (bisque) firing of any pot you decide to keep costs $10 each piece. Then Glazing costs an additional $10 each piece.\n\nChildren aged 7-14 welcome to participate if accompanied by an adult. No experience necessary\, just an openness to try! See you there!\nFor more information contact the Gallery. info@mccainartgallery.com 506-392-6769\n\nDrop-in Days:\nVETERANs meet almost every last Thursday of the month from 6-8pm at River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol\n\nBEGINNERs meet almost every first Thursday of the month from 6-8pm at River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol\n\n________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nSo you want to get more practice using the wheels \nat the River Art Centre…\n\nWHO: The four wheels will be available to use for those who have completed the six week wheel course and have demonstrated an understanding of wheel care and clay management. (You!)\n\n\nWHAT: You will have access to a wheel and materials during drop-in from 6 to 8. Kindly be prepared for this time to be entirely self-directed (my main focus has to be the drop-in hand-builders). I’ll help point you to clay and the proper reclaim spot when you start. During the evening I’ll gladly answer questions or help troubleshoot but only when/if I have downtime.\n(As this setup evolves\, we might introduce a system of each potter having their own clay to keep separate and manage on their own\, but for now will use the common supply)\n\n\n\nWHEN: At any of our monthly dropin sessions (both veteran or beginner\, doesn’t matter). See my website or social media pages for upcoming dates. These always land on a Thursday\, from 6 to 8 pm.\n\nCOST:\n-The wheel rental is $20 per session\, per person.\n-The firing costs remains the same as dropin: $10 per piece per firing ($10 bisque\, $10 glaze).\n\nHOW:  if you plan to come use a wheel please contact me by the Wednesday night before in order to guarantee a spot. If you don’t book in advance but show up and a wheel is free\, you’re welcome to it (but of course this isn’t guaranteed)\n\n\n\n2026 Clay Drop-in dates: \nNewbies: \nJanuary 8\, February 5\, March 5\, April 23\, and May 7 \nIntermediate: \nJanuary 29\, February 26\, March 26\, April 30\, and May 21

SUMMARY:Lino Print Card Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Jennifer Stead \nThursday November 9\, 6-8pm at the Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery (ALMAG)\nPrepare your drawing and carve your lino block! Come with a design in mind\, or carve from selected designs by Jennifer Stead. \nThursday November 16\, 6-8pm at the River Art Centre (RAC)\nPrinting a proof…or two!\nPrinting your 4.5 x 6″ cards \nCost: $45.00 per person\, all supplies provided. \nCall or email the Gallery to register 506-92-6769 info@mccainartgallery.com \nPayment secures your spot. Open to ages 15 plus. \n\nA Carl Schaeffer ink design for a Christmas card in the National Gallery of Canada Collection\nThe tradition of Christmas card giving started in Britain in the 1840s. By the 1860s developments in printing techniques allowed it to become a tradition so that by 1900 Christmas cards were popular all over Europe as well as in Canada and were mass produced. In the first half of the 20th century\, Canadian artists started their own tradition of making unique\, hand printed cards with linoleum\, woodblock or silk screen\, sometimes hand tinting each card individually. Carl Schaefer made many black and white card designs which are the simplest to do and are still elegant and festive. Here are some other examples.\n\nThis card of the family cutting a Christmas tree uses 5 colours and is called a Reduction Print\, which is a bit more complicated with a few more stages ( 1 per colour) and requires more preparation in the drawing stage. Making a reduction print is bit like solving a puzzle –  good for your brain\, fun and you’ll feel very pleased with yourself.\n \nThis card by  A. Y. Jackson\, another prolific card maker and sender like many of the Group of Seven\, printed the black and then hand painted the colour after the ink had dried. Easy\, quick and satisfying.
