Bower Center for the Arts
Sunday, March 21, 2010, 11am – 4pm
For the past several months, the Bower Center for the Art has worked with a group of local artists, business people and civic leaders to plan an exciting season of art exhibitions and accompanying programs. Under the leadership of the Center’s Interim Director Sara Braaten and Exhibition Coordinator Sandee Shaffer Johnson, the planning group has worked to showcase and be inclusive of the rich variety of local visual artists and crafts people. “We wanted to bring the collective wisdom of the established artists together with the enthusiasm and energy of the emerging artist and the entrepreneurial spirit of local art businesses. Among the various work included in the show are the large colorful oil paintings of African women by Pat Dougherty based on the photographs of a friend and missionary priest. Other works include Christian icons in the Coptic tradition of Egypt, Ethiopia and Eritrea by Patrick Ellis, abstract mixed media assemblages and painted photographs by Sandee Johnson, and playful wire-art birds by Nancy Laurent Other local artists include Revelle Hamilton, Ryan Higginbotham, Joe Woodford, Dottie Stone, Pidge Morgan, and Christina Aviles. Ann van de Graaf, from Lynchburg’s Africa House and Violet O. Mitchell’s co-founder of SANKOFA ARTS have collected work from Lynchburg artists that follow the theme.

An Introduction to and Exploration of Slabwork Pottery (CER041210)
Jayn Avery
April 12-15
2-4pm
Non-members $95/ Members $76
Explore the fundamentals of slab work hand-built pottery. Students will design, roll, cut and join slabbed clay into a variety of kitchenware and creative works. Rolling clay out into a flat slab provides material for an exciting new range of form for this earth-given medium that has been in the hands of humans since they began to create with those hands. From the flexibility of soft canvass to the rigid structure of cardboard, and every degree between, this class will encourage exploration as well as provide an introduction to the basic skills. It is designed to expand technique at all levels. From beginners who have never worked with clay to those skilled in wheel-throwing and hand-building—all who want to discover this side of clay’s potential are welcome.
Size of piece and drying time prohibits the guarantee of finished pieces getting fired during class time. Individual arrangements will be made to complete all work as desired.
