January at Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery

Friday and Saturday Evenings in January are packed with activity on J Street in Lake Worth.  Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, at 15 South J Street, is at the midst of this activity with openings and parties every Friday and Saturday in January.  These events are free to the public, and include a wine and cheese reception, usually with wonderful, live music.  The events begin at 6PM.  Doors close at 10PM.

The Common Grounds Coffee Bar has filled its walls with the works of local artists.  Every few months the exhibit changes. Weekend evenings are filled with open stages and concerts.  Special events with family friendly celebrities are scheduled throughout the year.

Excelsior Comics and Collectables exhibits the arts of cartoonists and comic book specialists.  They bring in special characters for events and games.  With a huge parking lot area behind their building, they plan days and evenings of fun for comic book enthusiasts.

Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, 15 South J Street in Downtown Lake Worth, has arts events planned for every Friday and Saturday evening through April.  Every Saturday Evening, from 6-10 PM, musicians congregate at their Bamboo Shoots Cafe for Jam Sessions, Juggling, free snacks and beverages.  Ryan Delaneuville is always on hand to create Chain Maille and demonstrate the process.

Friday, January 2, Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery presents the works of Adrianna Ficarelli, “Rings, Bling and Adornable Things.”  The event will take place at the gallery from 6-10 PM.  Adriana creates jewelry from metals, polymer clay, beads and gemstones.  From sheer elegance to arty, hand-crafted arm and ear adornments, Adriana brings a new look and dimension to the high quality jewelry stage she now shares with other gallery artists. Her silver rings, orbiting with precious gems are quickly becoming a “must-have” on the fingers of gallery customers.

Friday, January 9, Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery features Vandy, with her, “Where The Wild Things Are.”  Vandy, one of the most creative and prolific artists in the region, has mastered Papier Mache, bringing to us, a panoply of creatures, visual puns and social commentary.  On the walls are her exquisitely crafted paintings, whose subjects do not fall far from the 3-D source.

Friday, January 16, Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery presents Sara McLennand’s “The Nature of Sensuality.”  Sara takes the bounties of the earth, those dried and discarded seeds, fronds, leaves and twigs, and transforms them into works of undulating, sensual rhythms. Her works are enhanced with encaustic waxing, on both the frond elements as well as the bases.  This brings out the depth and aura. The sensual message cannot be mistaken.

Friday, January 23 thru Monday, January 26, Art Palm Beach is Welcomed in Lake Worth.  Flamingo Clay Studio, the non-profit parent organization of Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, will hold an open house at the Gallery and its new studio, located at 216 South F Street, in Lake Worth.  The Flamingo Clay Studio, will formally open its doors in January.  Both Studio and Gallery artists will be exhibiting and demonstrating in Clay, Fused Glass and Small Metals skills during this period.  Receptions will be scheduled at both locations.
