SUMMARY:Brigitte Clavette: The Mysterious Soul of Objects
DESCRIPTION:Opening celebrations of The Mysterious Soul of Objects scheduled 10 November  2023\, 5 – 7 pm \n \n \n \nThe artworks in The Mysterious Soul of Objects are from a series  created over the past few years under the name of “futile abundance”. “I cast in sterling silver or bronze discarded foodstuff\, found animal parts\, and along with these I hammer or “raise” small vessel forms that I call skins. These become the palette or inventory that I use to create still lives or tableaux that invite the gourmand to the table. I am interested in the tension between attraction and repulsion. These platters or tableaux give a living space to the mysterious objects I create. Objects whose function is not always clear. Objects that invite the viewer for some kind of connection or communion. These objects may invite contemplation or curiosity”. Brigitte Clavette \nHead of Jewellery and Metal Arts\, and an instructor at the New Brunswick College of Art and Design from 1985 to 2017\, Brigitte Clavette currently teaches part-time and devotes herself to her artistic practice. She is the 2022 winner of the Governor General Saidye Bronfman Award for excellence in fine crafts\, and is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts. She received the Excellence Award and the Strathbutler Award from the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation of New Brunswick in 2006. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada\, Ottawa\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto\, The Victoria & Albert Museum\, London England\, the New Brunswick Museum\, Saint John as well as being included in the contemporary silversmithing collection of the Art Gallery of Guelph\, Ontario

SUMMARY:Mel Hamilton: Reframing Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Opening celebration: Friday\, 10 November 2023 5 – 7 pm. \n  \nReframing Perspective is about creating work from an authentic female experience. My previous furniture work was informed by the male woodworking perspective shown in books exhibitions and other collections. I was taught that woven elements were used to add comfort. For this body of work I purposely looked to women for design inspiration and to reclaim the use of soft sculptural materials. \nOver 100 years ago Annie Albers\, Benita Otte\, Gunta Stolzl and Otte Berger were weaving students at the Bauhaus in Germany. Their use of pattern\, color and commitment to experimentation pave the way for Modern Art and Design. Works by these four artists directly inspired each piece in this series. \nWeaving techniques and designs have been reimagined here in three-dimensional furniture pieces where the wood structures support the patterns and lines of soft material. These works illustrate the dynamic motion of a woven line and show that material can have both a physical and emotional weight. \nMelanie Hamilton is an Atlantic Canadian craftsperson in visual artist. She specializes in finely crafted objects using solid wood and woven materials she studied at the center for furniture craftsmanship in Maine and Sheridan College in Ontario. She also holds a fine arts degree from Mount Allison University majoring in photography. Wooden leg Studio has been featured in such Publications as Home and Cabin\,  East Coast Living\, Popular Woodworking and Canadian Woodworking.

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.
