SUMMARY:What a Relief!
DESCRIPTION:What a Relief! A Collection of Relief Woodblock Prints by Local Artists\nMay 8 – June 5\, 2021 \nWhat a Relief! is an exhibition of the large-scale woodblock prints made by the 18 participants in our October 2020 workshop with BIG INK. After countless hours of carving\, participants printed their blocks on BIG INK’s traveling press. The smallest of these large-scale prints is two by three feet\, with the largest being four by eight feet. \nBIG INK\, founded in 2012 by Lyell Castonguay and Carand Burnet and based in Newmarket\, New Hampshire\, provides opportunities for large-scale woodblock printing workshops in host institutions. BIG INK’s mission is to inspire a greater public appreciation of large-scale woodblock printmaking and to extend its practice as an artistic discipline. \nInformation about BIG INK can be found at www.bigink.org. \nSee our exhibition of BIG INK prints held in 2020\, Think BIG Prints.

SUMMARY:Homeinstead | Kristan Five
DESCRIPTION:Kristan Five will exhibit in the Community 2D Gallery in Burnsville May 15 – June 19\, 2021. \n“In theory\, my work is inspired by our earth’s landscape. Globally\, much of nature shares the intrinsic beauty of organic lines\, textures and color with the human contribution of synthetic elements. This visual union creates complements of color\, shape and texture that offer tremendous inspiration for my work. This work is an expression of my belief that landscape is a moment rather than a place. I use the inspiration of landscape to render the ever-changing mood of the planet which parallels our human range of emotions. While the subject of my work is influenced by the architectural landscape of the earth\, my ultimate goal as a painter is essentially to capture an instance of human experience through color\, shape and texture.” – Kristan Five \nThe Burnsville gallery is open Thursday – Saturday\, 10:30AM – 5PM. \nPhotos courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Soft Slab Construction with Custom Textures and Specialized Surfaces with Amy Sanders
DESCRIPTION:This demonstration and hands-on workshop will focus on soft slab construction while exploring a wide variety of surface enhancements using texture and pattern as an inspiration. Participants will construct personal mark-making and texturing tools to use in their own work; as well as create stamped bisque molds. During the workshop we will also create a variety of forms on which to employ our new surface techniques including an altered slab cup\, a plate\, and a serving dish. Emphasis in instruction will also be placed on successfully resolving feet\, rims\, and handles; and the use of bisque molds. This workshop is designed to accommodate all clay enthusiasts from beginner to advanced (although\, some clay experience is helpful). Participants will leave with new tools to incorporate into their studio practice. \nArtist Biography:\nThe physical and creative nature of working with clay satisfies my desire to play\, construct\, experiment\, and to get dirty. Patterns in textiles\, architecture\, nature and quilting inspire me to create works that invite touch and evoke a sense of nostalgic comfort. Early in the construction process\, clay is soft and pliable; I enjoy building pieces that reflect these properties even after the clay has become hard from firing. I often make pieces with the intention of showing them in a grouping\, as though they are conversing with each other. Growing up in southern Ohio\, I spent my early years watching my mother and grandmothers sew. Upon moving to Charlotte after graduating college\, I did not have a clay studio in which to create\, so I began to sew myself. Experiences with sewing breathed life into my clay work: patterns\, textures and seams from fabrics and textiles inform design and formal decisions. The isolation of working alone in my studio has heightened my awareness of the importance of people and true community in my life. I experience this community through sharing food\, celebrations\, worship\, teaching\, athletic competition\, group traveling\, and music\, as well as interactions with the city itself. My desire for a sense of place and history while living within an urban environment is reflected in my work.\nwww.amysanderspottery. \nRegister here. \nWhen: June 12- 13\, 10AM – 5PM\nWhere: Double Island Studio\, Green Mountain NC\nWorkshop fee: $250 Earthenware clay is provided. Students are welcome to bring their own clay if they prefer. Firing not included.

SUMMARY:Exploring Low Fire Surfaces with Liz Zlot Summerfield
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in working at low fire but feel intimidated with addressing the surface? This workshop intends to demystify low fire surfaces by introducing you to several techniques\, many of which can be used at any temperature. The layering of these techniques has the ability to create a unique depth to the surfaces of your work. The workshop will cover slip trailing\, underglazes\, sgraffito\, and making and applying terra sigillata. All of these techniques can be applied to sculptural and functional forms. \nThere will discussions on the myths and facts of earthenware\, firing temperatures and cone charts\, and suggestions on how to personalize your surfaces. \nParticipants will explore surface through test tiles that may be taken home and fired. Small batches of terra sigillata will be available for purchase. \nThe format of this workshop is demonstration and hands-on work time. \nArtist Biography:\nLiz Zlot Summerfield grew up in Northern California and was a child of both an entrepreneur and an admirer of the arts. Both parents instilled a determination and confidence in her that she could succeed at anything she worked towards. She attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis to complete her Masters of Fine Arts in 2004. Since graduation\, she has lived and worked as a studio artist in Bakersville\, North Carolina with her husband and glass artist\, Scott Summerfield. Their daughter\, Roby is an emerging artist focused on printmaking. She has been an instructor and visiting artist at numerous clay facilities\, colleges\, and universities. She exhibits and sells her work nationally through exhibitions\, galleries\, and fine craft shows. Her work resides in various permanent collections. She has been featured and on the cover of Ceramics Monthly and Clay Times magazine. She has also written several articles and created an instructional DVD produced by Ceramics Arts Daily featuring her ceramic process and her work. In 2020\, she and Scott created Double Island Studio\, a communal space created for art making\, teaching\, and learning. \nRegister here. \nWhen: Saturday\, June 26\,  10AM – 3PM\nWhere: Double Island Studio\, Green Mountain NC\nWorkshop fee: $125 includes Slip\, test tiles\, terra sigillata\, and underglaze.
