Greetings Venue Allies,
We invite you to join us June 3rd to kickoff a weekend of artistic activities!
Friday from 5 to 8pm will be the June Gallery Walk, and we are thrilled to dedicate an entire ROOM to a fresh lineup of creative jewelry works by Lori McDonald of Charmhouse Designs.
Lori’s mission is to collide the old and the new, pairing vintage items, natural materials and hypoallergenic metals to create singularly unique designs.
We will also host Lori for the Bloomington Open Studios Tour on Saturday and Sunday. This annual event invites patrons and enthusiasts to visit with artists within their creative space while they work and produce. Visit http://www.bloomingtonopenstudiostour.com/ for show details and a directions.
Finally, this will be an oportunity to visit our gallery and experience two pieces of Brown County Heratage Art History. The Venue is proud to host two original oil paintings from Adolf and Alberta Shultz, two founding members of the impressionist art movement that put our community on the map!
Karen’s porcelain and stoneware pottery is wheel thrown, often altered and decorated with thick slip and by carving, appliquéing and incising. She uses fossils, seashells, fabric and kitchen tools for decoration. For color, she applies glaze over glaze, uses wax resist brush decoration and touches up with metallic oxide washes. She also uses local Indiana clay slip on some of her stoneware pieces. Karen high fires her work in a gas reduction atmosphere to the temperature of approximately 2350F.
“I’m guided by the concept taught to me by my teacher Nan McKinnnell at Loretta Heights College in Denver, ‘the first 100 don’t count’. I’m moving into to keeping it simple, as well, being patient with the process. Repetition helps me understand a form, a glaze, a texture. I strive to create pieces that stand alone as beautiful, are sensuous to the touch and function for every day use.”
Karen is a founding member of Local Clay Potters’ Guild. She is also a founding member of Artisan Guilds of Bloomington.
For June the Bellevue Gallery at the Farmer House Museum presents a showing of surrealist influenced paintings by local artist Karen Holtzclaw. In the artist’s own words:
“Painting what appears before me has become mundane. So here we are in the midst of the incomprehensible, always there but always pushed aside My current show is a culmination pf musings and visceral experiences that have taken me ‘Off the Pavement’ “
The opening reception for “Off the Pavement: Recent Paintings by Karen Holtzclaw” will be Friday June 3 from 5-9 at the Farmer House Museum. The Farmer House Museum is located at 529 N. College Avenue in downtown Bloomington. Normal hours are 10-4 Wednesday-Sunday. Please call 812-336-5597 for more information. The show will run through the end of June.
