In art, we find a journey that exists alongside our own. The gallery, located within St. John's Lutheran Church, is currently seeking to fill its 2005 schedule. Exhibits rotate on a monthly basis.

Glaze Texture and Surface Decoration by Brian Gartside
June 15-June 17 2005
Brian Gartside will teach participants how to easily achieve color and texture on any ceramic surface.

On the first day, participants will help mix hundreds of glaze and texture samples that will be fired overnight for review the next day. Brian will then proceed to talk about and demonstrate his approach to surface design, images and decoration. He creates fascinatingly complex abstract designs inspired by elements of landscape. He will present slides of his influences and work, while demonstrating his approach to building up surface decoration utilizing the same materials that participants have tested. Alongside this he demonstrates the creation and development of visual design skills.
