Upcoming Exhibition: Forty-Five Rounds, Ninety-Three Years & Ninety-Six Point Seven Kilometers

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.

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.

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.

Halifax Crafters Winter Market

After days upon days of sleepless nights of frantic crafting, we finally made it to the Halifax Crafters winter market. It was the biggest show yet for the crafters' and our most successful show to boot!

It was Katherine's first time out and she had a wonderful array of new work all produced this fall in the studios.

This was Kat's fifth show with Halifax Crafters. As a seasoned vet of the crafters community, Kat was invited to design and help print the posters for the show. This design was one of a few new debuts for Kat. While in the studios she also developed a new line of screen-printed textile objects.

A few well earned bruises later and the mighty crafters returned home for days, nay weeks of well deserved r & r.
