Event Details
The eleven members of the Colborne Art Gallery bring you their latest work, based on the theme “Enveloped”. The word means surround, encircle, enfold, cover, encase…For artist Marion Myers, her beautifully layered blanket quilts cocoon the sleeper. For potter Lorelyn Morgan, her clay sculptures are encased in little pieces of broken ceramic, a technique known as pique assiette. Jewelery maker Charles Funnell’s elegant pieces encircle the wearers’ necks. Other artists have interpreted the idea of being “enveloped” using a variety of media, including wood and paint. The Opening Reception takes place Saturday, September 14 from 1 – 3 P.M. Everyone welcome! We share our space with Heritage Cramahe, whose exhibition “Timeline II: 1850 – 1900” is on display in the heritage room through to September 29, followed by “Hispanic Heritage”, opening October 3, 2019.
