Clay Glass Metal Stone Cooperative Gallery Presents Under the Harvest Moon
A Celebration of Wood turners and Artists who use Nature’s Bounty in Fine Art Creations
Let the woodchips fly as Lake Worth artists bring their lathes into the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery on Friday, November 18 from 6- 10 PM. The gallery is located at 605 Lake Avenue in downtown Lake Worth.
The gallery will be filled with sounds, tastes and smells of the Harvest Season as visitors are invited to sample the hot cider, apple delicacies and pumpkin treats. Artists will be hard a work demonstrating skills in wood, fiber, reeds, seed pods and grasses. Most natural materials are part of the harvest season each fall. From these the artists create sculpture, baskets, bowls, jewelry, mirrors and tables. Homes can be decorated, bodies adorned and life enhanced with beauty that touches the soul.
Teri Salomni and Mark Banfield are wood turners of great skill. Teri creates works that are intertwined with her reed weavings and creations. Mark pieces, turns and inlays wood in exotic and unique creations. Both are technically adept with works that are elegantly sexy, intricately decorative or handsomely functional. Teri and Mark will be demonstrating their skills on the lathe this evening and may create a commissioned work of art on the spot for you.
Mary Catello weaves magic with her reeds, fibers, wires and grasses. Her undulating sculptural forms, earthy color palate and intricate patterns are unique and highly collectable. Mary had developed a line of jewelry made from curled, folded and woven paper that is haut couture, light as a feather and rapidly becoming the most sought after fashion statement of the season.
Sticks and Stones, creators of 3-D paintings, mirrors, furniture and a huge collection of unusual, “how did they do that” sculptures, are a brother-sister team Rick Cohen and Kathleen Kirschner. Drawing their inspiration from their walks in the woods and on the beach, they use their combined artistic talents to see what others do not see and craft what others would never think of. They have a diverse and prolific display of work in the gallery.
