Thanks for the wonderful year!

Well as they say “all good things must come to an end” and here we are at the end of a wonderful and productive year here in Lunenburg. 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.

Katherine and Kat are pleased to have the opportunity to present some of their work from the Lunenburg Residency at an upcoming show Ninety-Three Years & Ninety-Six Point Seven Kilometers 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.
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.

Kat put together a home décor collection of screen-printed textiles inspired by Lunenburg County, as well as a new collection of paintings.




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.

So please join us in Halifax for our upcoming show if you can and thanks once again for your continued support.

Kat and Katherine

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.
