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. \n\nsp

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:A Different Light: Photo-based works by Dianne Bos
DESCRIPTION:Opening: 2 May 2026\, 2:00 – 4:00pm \nArtist Talk: A walk through the show with Dianne at 2:00 to 2:30 pm \nEveryone is welcome and we have an elevator \nPadua Bio Div 5.3\, 2019 \nLeran Castle Door 1\, 2019 \nCap-Roig-11\, 2019 \nDianne Bos investigates light\, nature and perception using a wide range of distinctive photographic processes and tools. Her focused interest in analog techniques has integrated exploration with pinhole photography\, vintage cameras\, cyanotype\, photograms\, and most recently\, chlorophyll printing. She will be showing a selection of early pinhole work as well as images from her most recent Herbarium/ PhotoSynthesis series. \nDianne Bos\, has evolved various thematic bodies of work\, and merged technical innovations to create new visual hybrids. She makes innovative use of pinhole\, camera obscura\, installation\, and alternative photographic techniques to explore the world around us. \n‘The excitement\, for me\, lies not in reproducing something I can see\, but in revealing the imperceptible (and maybe only the imagined) using the physics of light and time and darkroom techniques.’ \nDianne Bos is an internationally-exhibiting artist based in Canada and France. She has presented her photography and installation work in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally in the United States and Europe. Her work may be found in private\, corporate and museum collections including the Art Gallery of Hamilton\, ON; the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery\, AB; the Walter Phillips Gallery at the Banff Centre\, AB; the National Gallery of Canada\, ON and Canadian embassies in Paris and Belgium. In addition to her artistic practice in the visual arts\, Bos’ professional interests have extended into the field of music\, publishing\, and teaching.
