While Julia struggled away on the wheel, Anke was also struggling with her overflowing ideas. A local glass artist from the Peer gallery, Anke brought in a bin full of found objects to create interesting textures on the surface of clay and made several pieces that would also be involved in her glass forming process.<br />Allen, the gentleman of the workshop, came with a purpose: to make a pawn!<br />His past time story of his serendipidous relationship with clay through his mother's pottery class was a heart warming story. His cherished hand-made chess pieces were his motivation to be working in different models and moulds.<br />We will be glazing our pieces on our next workshop date, and I'm looking forward to seeing them again.<br />Cheers.<br /><br />georgioAmelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-59959462747545483132010-11-17T13:22:00.002-04:002010-11-17T14:36:15.262-04:00Hello Everyone!<br /><br />We have been rather negligent with our blog so far. From then on hopefully we can remember to take the time to update you on all the wonderful things we have been up to.<br /><br />Settling here was easy and fun. The apartment is cozy and charming, especially with all of Rebecca's quirky and sweet decorative fancies. We have a huge kitchen in which we love to cook and bake. Sharing meals helped us getting to know each other and still brings us together to discuss and share some laughs. Quickly, we made the studios our own havens of creation, and it is now part of our everyday and night hang-out spot. When the weather was still warm and sunny, we had our bay doors open and met lots of kind souls, often accompanied with their dogs. We had to get dog treats!<br /><br />In September, we had our first Open-Studio event, where we invited the town to come enjoy some wine and home-made snacks meet us and see our work. It was very successful, and lots of fun. We have many supporters who encourage us and our practice, and even have us over for delicious dinners form time to time. We certainly haven't been lonely or bored so far. There is always something to plan, see or do. Last Saturday, we all went to see the Youth Orchestra at the St-John's Anglican Church, thanks to Senator Wilfred Moore who offered us tickets. This week and the next, we are having different classes from the Lunenburg Academy to visit our studios. We are also planning our workshops with them, as well as a series we will be offering to Centre Consolidated High School. George is preparing his upcoming community workshop here at the studio. Rebecca attends a quilting group and is active amongst the Second Story Woman's Centre. Amelie begins a weekly private workshop in response to a keen woman's interest in painting. All of us are also spending as much time as possible in our studios working on a body of work that will be displayed in the Port Campus in February.<br /><br />See you later and thanks for checking our blog! More pictures coming up soon!Amelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-80315264692325442332010-11-03T20:01:00.007-03:002010-11-04T13:24:17.180-03:00NSCAD - LUNENBURG CERAMICS WORKSHOP 2010<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TNLeJwZqk-I/AAAAAAAAAVc/ywyj_luN6s8/s1600/final+workshop+poster+george+nov+2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TNLeJwZqk-I/AAAAAAAAAVc/ywyj_luN6s8/s400/final+workshop+poster+george+nov+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535731151184499682" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">see you on the 22nd.</div><br /><div align="center">-george</div>Amelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-75628236436491886452010-11-02T05:13:00.003-03:002010-11-02T05:26:45.828-03:00BOO!<div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TM_JITuCqqI/AAAAAAAAAU0/pyamPil8Gco/s1600/nscad+pumpkin.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 361px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 352px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534863611631151778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TM_JITuCqqI/AAAAAAAAAU0/pyamPil8Gco/s400/nscad+pumpkin.JPG" /></a>Although it was relatively a quiet night, we wish more kids come next year.</div><div align="center">Belated Happy Halloween from the Black Widow, the Zombie, and the Mask.</div><div align="center"> </div>Amelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-6611576735583416732010-10-17T23:45:00.000-03:002010-10-18T00:01:16.550-03:00President's Convocation '10<div align="right"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TLu04CQ98qI/AAAAAAAAAUs/9w-So-S1Yso/s1600/PresidentsConvocation-105.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 286px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529211842301129378" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TLu04CQ98qI/AAAAAAAAAUs/9w-So-S1Yso/s400/PresidentsConvocation-105.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><br />from right: Mayor Mawhinney of Lunenburg, Rebecca Roher, President David Smith,</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Her Honour Mayann E.

Its hard to believe that its already been a year since we set up shop in the fire hall and it is some what reluctantly that we pass on the torch to the 2010 – 2011 artists: George, Rebecca and Amelie. Of course we know that they are going to have an amazing time here and look forward to seeing how they grown and develop in their own work in this rich and vibrant environment.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaeg-L2THI/AAAAAAAAATc/UQojJfuOJBA/s1600/front+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 94px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaeg-L2THI/AAAAAAAAATc/UQojJfuOJBA/s400/front+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518772682674818162" border="0" /></a><br />Katherine and Kat are pleased to have the opportunity to present some of their work from the Lunenburg Residency at an upcoming show <span style="font-style: italic;">Ninety-Three Years & Ninety-Six Point Seven Kilometers </span>at the Anna Leonowens Gallery in Halifax, running from September 28th to October 9th, with an opening reception on Monday, September 27th at 5:30 pm.<br />If you didn't have a chance to visit the final show in Lunenburg please come out and see what kept us busy during our year in Lunenburg.<br /><br />Kat put together a home décor collection of screen-printed textiles inspired by Lunenburg County, as well as a new collection of paintings.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaehaykS-I/AAAAAAAAATk/CSR8M2_V4mc/s1600/lunenburg+collection05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaehaykS-I/AAAAAAAAATk/CSR8M2_V4mc/s400/lunenburg+collection05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518772690353408994" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJam9stPFrI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZpP2s6S_yWE/s1600/DSC_0048.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJam9stPFrI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZpP2s6S_yWE/s400/DSC_0048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518781972292245170" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaiS9PzoEI/AAAAAAAAAT8/rfxUeqYLUgc/s1600/DSC_0056.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TJaiS9PzoEI/AAAAAAAAAT8/rfxUeqYLUgc/s400/DSC_0056.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518776839951327298" border="0" /></a><br />Katherine spent the year working a little out of her comfort zone – and devoted her time to creating a line of prototypes that she hopes to be able to put into production for sale in the near future. These items are all functional and driven by a desire to create special ceremonial vessels for use in the home – to present a special cake or arrangement of flowers.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TI0dIgWDjkI/AAAAAAAAASw/z9E-WHzYZ8k/s400/DSC_0069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516097150557326914" border="0" /><br /><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TI0dHEnBRfI/AAAAAAAAASY/9M-UGof2rEc/s400/DSC_0121.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516097125932418546" border="0" /><br /></div><div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TI0dILKrVPI/AAAAAAAAASo/FsCB1MHePTw/s400/DSC_0085.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516097144872457458" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" border="0" /></div><div><br /></div><div>So please join us in Halifax for our upcoming show if you can and thanks once again for your continued support.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kat and Katherine<br /></div>Amelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-7572598526782688452010-07-30T12:05:00.000-03:002010-07-30T21:00:22.067-03:00Upcoming Exhibition: Forty-Five Rounds, Ninety-Three Years & Ninety-Six Point Seven Kilometers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TFLqTNZrw7I/AAAAAAAAASA/-nY-aE1e8ZQ/s1600/NSCADLunenburgexhibition.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oLtN8pICcc/TFLqTNZrw7I/AAAAAAAAASA/-nY-aE1e8ZQ/s400/NSCADLunenburgexhibition.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499715710708597682" /></a><br />Kat Frick Miller, Jennifer Green and Katherine Thomas are concluding their year as artists-in-residence at the NSCAD-Lunenburg Community Studios. They are presenting their final weeklong studio exhibition, “Forty-Five Rounds, Ninety-Three Years and Ninety-Six Point Seven Kilometers” from August 14 - 19, 2010. The artists invite the public to join them for the opening reception on Friday August 13, at 5 pm. The NSCAD-Lunenburg Community Studios are located at 40 Duke Street, in downtown Lunenburg. The studios will be open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.<br /><br />Throughout the year the residents have developed independent bodies of work in painting, textiles and ceramics. Kat Frick Miller has produced a collection of South Shore inspired screen-printed textiles and new painted work. Jennifer Green has dedicated her year to flax spinning and will be exhibiting the resulting handspun yarn and woven textiles. Katherine Thomas has devoted her studio time to investigating new techniques and forms in porcelain and will be displaying a collection of objects designed for the luxurious presentation of food and flowers. <br /><br />To hear more about the work on exhibit, the artists welcome you to attend their public lecture on Thursday August 19 in the Lunenburg Academy Auditorium at 7 pm. The exhibition and presentation are free and everyone is welcome.Amelie, George & Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040319926493596051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984865321161482228.post-79465744735461218542010-05-28T18:26:00.000-03:002010-05-30T21:02:59.015-03:00Lunenburg Lecture Series - Rory MacDonaldWe are pleased to present ceramicist, Rory MacDonald, as the fourth speaker in our 2009-10 Lunenburg Lecture Series.
