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:Encaustic Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Encaustic Painting Workshop\nGet ready to dive into the world of creativity by learning all about Encaustic painting with Elspeth Hagan! \nWorkshop Details:\nMARCH 7\, 2026 \nFOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH: \n9AM-12PM\, $40 \ns/p \nFOR ADULTS: \n1PM-4PM\, $60 \ns/p \nAT THE RIVER ART CENTRE\, DOWNSTAIRS \n8746 MAIN ST\, FLORENCEVILLE-BRISTOL \ns/p\nRegister now!\n(506) 392-6769 \ninfo@mccainartgallery.com \nWhat you will learn:\nYou will create two images on wood (one framed) using only wax\, or if you choose\, wax combined with other elements like paper\, beads\, or pictures. You are welcome to bring their own elements or work with the supplied materials. \n*Special care has been taken to adapt the process to ensure a fully non-toxic experience. Heated wax and heat guns will be used with supervision. \nBut what on Earth is encaustic?\nEncaustic “painting” is an ancient artform that uses heated beeswax combined with pigments to create distinctive images. Encaustic uses layered wax\, scraped and carved to create beautiful patterns and scenes\, and may incorporate other materials like coloured paper\, pictures\, beads\, fibres\, or similar mixed media. Oil paints may be used to highlight certain lines. The beauty of encaustic art lies in the distinctive texture\, as well as the unpredictable and organic pictures emerging from the wax. \nSpecial care has been taken to adapt the process to ensure a fully non-toxic experience. Heated was and heat guns will be used with supervision. \nAbout your instructor:\nElspeth Hagan taught for almost a decade (part time) in the Studio program (ages 6-14) of the Royal Ontario Museum\, as well as developing and delivering art-based museum programming to adults and children. Elspeth developed museum programming – including for seniors and differently abled adults – at the British Museum in London. Elspeth currently leads the River Valley 4-H Arts & Crafts program in Florenceville. \nElspeth has always admired the history and beauty of encaustic painting and has researched and taught this technique to children and adults. \ns/p

SUMMARY:Introduction to Linocut Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:<s/p> \nJoin local artist Mahala McIntosh for a two-part immersive and hands-on linocut workshop – perfect for beginners and those with experience alike! \nPart I: In this workshop\, you will learn how to carve\, ink\, and print your own linocut. \nPart II: Building off the skills learned in part I\, you will learn about reduction printing and create a 2 colour reduction print. \n*You are also welcome to participate in part II if you have taken linocut workshops previously. \nBoth classes are suited for ages 12+\, with those 12-14 accompanied by an adult. \nThe linocuts will be 4.5″ by 6″ each class. You are welcome to bring your own image to use\, and there will be images provided. \nDates: Part I: March 14\, 1pm-4pm | Part II: March 21\, 9:30am-3pm \nCost: Part I: $30 | Part II: $45 | OR $60 for both \nLocation: The River Art Centre\, Downstairs : 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol \nIf you have any questions\, or wish to register: \n(506) 392-6769 or info@mccainartgallery.com \nWhat on Earth is Linocut Printmaking? \nLinocut is a technique of relief printing\, where you carve a design into a sheet of linoleum using sharp tools commonly called gouges. Once your design is carved\, you then ink the linoleum using a roller\, and put it ink-side down on the paper or fabric you wish to have the linocut on\, and transfer the ink either by pressing with your hand very firmly\, or with a press. This technique creates a bold\, high-contrast image. \nWith this technique\, the artist carves away the pieces they want to remain the colour of the paper (or fabric). *In reduction printing\, after your first ink has transferred nicely\, you then carve more away from the same linocut\, which allows for multi-coloured linocut prints. \nIt should be noted that whatever you carve will be mirrored in the transfer. \nLinocut is great for allowing bold styles\, and is easier to carve than wood making it an excellent entry point for beginners.

SUMMARY:Clay Marcos' Collection of Indigenous and Inuit Art
DESCRIPTION:sp \nThe Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery is honoured to present Dr. Clay Marco’s collection of Inuit and Indigenous art to the community. Originally from the Vancouver area\, Dr. Marco developed an appreciation for the art of the Haida Nation\, examples of which are featured in the west end of the gallery. Approximately twelve years ago\, Dr. Marco began collecting Inuit art during professional trips to Nunavut. He traveled to many communities over the course of more than thirty visits\, purchasing art in most of the locations where he worked or traveled. Many of these pieces are featured in the east end of the gallery. \nsp \nView Clay’s Book: Reflections of the NorthClay grew up in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia\, where he developed a strong connection to Haida Nation Art. He explains that the artists replicate his strong feeling of ties to the land\, and that draws his attention in completely. To Clay\, it’s some of the most beautiful art in the world! \nClay will be in attendance at the Gallery on Saturday\, April 25 at 2pm for the Closing Reception. \nIf you have any questions\, or wish to hear Clay speak about his collection\, it’s the perfect time to stop by the gallery.

SUMMARY:Intro to Crochet with Gaby Mann
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Details: \nDates: April 11 & 25 \nTime: 1pm-3:30pm both dates \nLocation: River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol \nCost: $65 *includes a $15 certificate to Close Knit Friends Yarn Shop to purchase a hook and yarn of your choice!* \n*you need a size 6mm crochet hook\, and 1 skein (approx 200m) worsted weight wool. You can stop by Close Knit Friends Yarn shop in Upper Kent\, OR they will be attending the Fiddlehead Fibre Festival in Florenceville-Bristol on April 10 & 11 \nRegister Now!\ninfo@mccainartgallery.com\n(506) 392-6769\nIn this class\, you will learn the most common crochet stitches and use them to make a warm cozy cowl. The class is two sessions. In the first\, you will learn the stitches on a practice piece (mug rug) you can take home. You’ll also start your cowl\, and be ready to work on (or finish crocheting) it at home. In the second\, we’ll refine your technique\, solve problems\, and show you how to sew the edges of your finished cowl together. \nThe cowl pattern used in this course is the Chi-Town Cowl by Kathy Kelly. \nChi-Town Crochet Cowl by Kathy KellyAbout the instructor: \nAsk Gaby when she learned to crochet\, sew\, and knit\, and she’ll tell you she can’t remember. Her sisters will attest that it started with the trolls. Remember trolls? Along with crayon nail polish and sharpie eyeliner\, theirs “acquired” felt clothing (basic pattern design\, handsewn seams\, closures and decorations). Predictably\, the dolls complained; that led to machine sewing\, crochet\, and knitting. In the following years\, her parents went to great lengths to keep her and her sisters trying new things\, many decidedly riskier than crocheting! Late\, Gaby maintained her university grade average by compulsive note-taking and her sanity by knitting. Fellow residents noticed\, and so began her “teaching” career. \nThere are no refunds on cancellations within 7 days of the workshop

SUMMARY:Relief Carving with Megan Billings
DESCRIPTION:Space \nJoin local potter Megan Billings for an afternoon of relief carving on clay tiles! \nIn this workshop\, you will be carving on a 6″ x 6″ clay tile with instruction from Megan. After you’re finished carving an image into your tile\, you will choose a finish for your tile which will be fired later my Megan. \nYou are encouraged to bring your own 6″ x 6″ reference image! \nWhat is relief clay carving? \nRelief clay carving is a sculptural technique used to carve away the background or add layers on top of a flat surface to create a 3D design. Typically\, you use leather-hard clay – meaning not bone dry\, but not floppy wet – to carve shapes and shadows to get your desired outcome. \nWorkshop Details: \nDate: Saturday\, April 18 from 1pm-4pm \nLocation: River Art Centre\, Downstairs. (8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol) \nCost: $40 per person \nNo refunds on cancellations within one week of workshop \nMeet Megan!\nMegan has been enamored with clay for over 25 years. She discovered a passion for clay carving during a sculpture class with Peter Thomas at the New Brunswick College of Craft & Design. Megan uses her carved designs with several categories of her creations.

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.
