Coming up in our Gallery for August
|
Allied Arts of Whatcom County’s 2018 Gallery Series welcomes back WACK, Whatcom’s Artists of Clay and Kiln. WACK is a non-profit organization dedicated to ceramic artists from Whatcom County with a passion for creative expression with clay. We are excited to present this exhibit, honoring clay’s malleable shapes and forms.
This year, we challenged members to team up with other artists and create something new together for at least some of the pieces. Some are partnering with other ceramic artists and some teaming up with artists in other mediums. So we should have some interesting new work!
The Allied Arts Gallery is dedicated to providing a professional space for local artists of every background and experience level to present and sell their work, supporting the arts and artists of Bellingham’s community. For more information, visit
www.alliedarts.org
or contact Katy Tolles, Artist Services Coordinator, at 676-8548 x2 or katy@alliedarts.org.

Adventures Northwest Photography Workshop aboard the Gato Verde
|
September 21-24, 2018
Join John D'Onofrio and Al Sanders on this four-day sailing adventure in this beautiful archipelago, we'll sail through and around these captivating islands, photographing the magical land- and sea-scapes from the Gato Verde and from lonely, otherwise-inaccessible beaches on shore excursions. In the evenings, we’ll work with Adobe Lightroom to optimize and refine our images and improve our technique and skillset. Everyone will go home with one print from the workshop, suitable for framing.
Our Mothership is the Gato Verde, with creature comforts galore, including delicious meals prepared by an onboard chef, four heated double staterooms and two heads (bathrooms) with hot showers. The large salon provides space for our images to be projected for teaching and critique. The modified catamaran sails on the slightest breeze and when motoring, deploys an electric motor, affording us the opportunity to observe wildlife without the roar of the diesel.
This trip is limited to six attendees so hands-on personal attention is assured. Attendees are welcome to bring a non-workshop partner. Cost is $1895.

This is a tempered glass door that shattered into small beautiful pieces of glass. We've used some in the bottom of glass vases and it looks really pretty, but we don't have a use for the rest of it. We have 2 paint cans with the glass pieces that we would be happy to give to an artist who can use it.
We need it to be gone by around August 20th, as we are moving! Call Rick or Lisa at 360.966.3019.
