SUMMARY:Blizzard Folded Book Structure with Karen Hardy
DESCRIPTION:Blizzard Folded Book Structure with Karen Hardy\nStranded by a snow storm during travel\, artist Hedi Kyle passed the time experimenting with paper\, and invented a unique folded book structure that came to be known as the “blizzard book.” Since then\, the basic pattern has been altered and expanded to create numerous additional designs\, including the crown book\, wheel of fortune\, blizzard pockets\, crown card\, and blizzard boxes. \nDeveloped by Hedi and her protégés\, a key feature of all these structures is their ability to hold contents without the use of adhesive – there is flexibility built in. Each blizzard variation addresses a unique engineering goal\, and thus each fills a niche in the book artist’s arsenal of structures to suit different purposes. Get “caught in a blizzard” and spend a day learning all of the structures you can create from the blizzard fold. \nNo previous experience required. \nWhen: Saturday\, April 17\, 2021\, 10 AM – 4 PM\nWhere: Toe River Arts Spruce Pine Owen Gallery\nWorkshop fee: $115\,  includes pre-cut paper for all book models \nKaren Hardy is a visual artist based in Asheville and Spruce Pine\, North Carolina. Her practice is centered on an experimental approach to materials and process\, with particular focus on using innovative hand papermaking techniques and a variety of non-traditional materials in artist books\, prints\, sculpture\, and installation. Karen’s award-winning artist books are widely exhibited and held in collections across the country and abroad. Since 2008\, Karen has designed and printed ephemera for both retail and commission as the proprietor of Hardy Letterpress. \nRegister here. \nPhoto courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:H2O and Other Interpretations | Jean McLaughlin
DESCRIPTION:Jean McLaughlin will exhibit in the Community 2D Gallery in Burnsville April 3 – May 1\, 2021. \n“My reconnection with printmaking began in the Penland studios after a very long hiatus. The complexity and immediacy snagged me as it had in the past\, and I began to explore monotypes\, monoprints\, woodcuts\, and lithography anew. These works were printed from woodcuts carved during the month of January 2021 while I worked in the Penland studio.” – Jean McLaughlin \nThe Burnsville gallery is open Thursday – Saturday\, 10:30AM – 5PM. \nPhotos courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Essential Work
DESCRIPTION:Essential Work\nMarch 20 – April 24 \nWhen the world shut down a year ago\, many of us put our lives on pause. People were ordered to stay home\, and only work deemed essential carried on. \nArtists make work for different reasons\, but often the artist’s job is to help themselves and others work through difficult thoughts or emotions\, or to interpret and digest pivotal social and cultural events. They make work in hard times because they have to. For many\, artists and otherwise\, to stop working was not an option. The complexity of the repercussions of this pandemic cannot be expressed in one statement alone\, as everyone processed their new reality differently. But for many\, the conflict of how to support oneself and one’s family while staying home was paramount. \nArtists felt an added loss of revenue as exhibitions and festivals were cancelled\, sales plummeted\, and opportunities vanished. The artists in this exhibition all received grant funding that became available as the need for financial assistance in the arts became apparent. Through the efforts of the North Carolina Arts Council\, the Madison County Arts Council\, ArtsNC\, the federal government\, and Toe River Arts\, these artists received help they needed to keep carrying on in hard times. \nIt is with great pride that Toe River Arts presents the work by these grant recipients in this exhibition. This exhibition is a testament to the resiliency and significance of the arts in our community. As we reach the grim milestone of one year under this global pandemic\, we take this opportunity to reflect on what we have and what we must preserve. \nFeatured image: Scott Vander Veen’s Unmitigated Qualities. Photo by Brady Connelly.
