SUMMARY:Self-Portrait Workshop with Stephen Hutchings
DESCRIPTION:Self-Portrait Drawing Workshop\nwith Stephen Hutchings\nJoin local artist Stephen Hutchings for a one and a half day Self-Portrait Drawing Workshop with guaranteed likeness! \nDate: Saturday\, May 23 from 10AM-12PM\, and Sunday\, May 24 from 10AM-4PM \nLocation: River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol \nCost: $55 early bird! $65 if after April 30\, 2026 \nOne of the greatest challenges in drawing is achieving a realistic\, life-size self portrait using graphite pencils. In this one and a half day workshop\, you will get that opportunity! You will use drawing paper with the features of your own face already lightly indicated on it. This establishes the overall positions of your facial features\, thereby ensuring a more realistic result. Using a mirror and photograph of your face as a reference\, you will draw your facial features and tones to complete your drawing. \nSaturday morning\, Stephen will photograph you\, which will be your reference. You will study examples of eyes\, mouths\, and noses from photographs and your own face. Your photograph will be processes Saturday afternoon so that when you arrive Sunday morning\, you will have a 12″ x 18″ sheet of drawing paper on which your features will be lightly indicated. You will finish your portrait through Sunday’s session\, and throughout the day there will be demonstrations of material and technique\, as well as plenty of one-on-one opportunity with Stephen. \nMaterials provided: Drawing paper; a photograph of your face for reference; graphite pencils; small hand held mirror. \n*Bring a lunch on Sunday! There is a microwave in the building. \n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			Out of stock		\n	\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Self-Portrait Workshop with Stephen Hutchings	\n\n\n\n			\n			$65.00\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n\n\n	Details

SUMMARY:Raku Firing 2026
DESCRIPTION:Meet Tim!\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.” \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! \nDate: Saturday\, June 13 from 9am-5pm \nFee: $60 per person \nLocation: Jenna’s house in Knowlesville (Address will be emailed to participants only for privacy reasons) \nTo register: Call (506) 392-6769 or email info@mccainartgallery.com \nAll pots must be bisque-fired prior to the workshop. Participants are encouraged to attend either a Make-it Day\, or clay drop-in until April 30th. *Drop-in pricing applies. \nWhat on Earth is Raku? \nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red-hot pots and combustable 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 word Raku translated to English means: ‘happiness in the accident’\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, and delight!
