Copper Country Associated Artists to offer "Art of Spinning"
Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA) will present "The Art of Spinning," a spinning demonstration by Jennifer Szubielak and MaryBeth Olson -- fiber artists who live in the Calumet area -- from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on First Friday, Jan. 3. The two artists will be using a variety of spindles and a wonderful handmade wheel. They will be spinning sheep wool but will bring samples of yarn and knitted works using fibers from different animals including alpaca, camel and dog. A few "student spindles" will be available for those who might enjoy trying the art themselves.
Jennifer Szubielak has her handmade yarn for sale in local stores.
The CCAA gallery is located at 205 Fifth St. in Calumet. For more information, please call 906-337-1252 or email ccaartists@gmail.com.
Galerie Bohème to hold reception for exhibit of local artists' work
Galerie Bohème will offer their usual First Friday festivities starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 3. The gallery will be displaying feathers and "Barn Owl" by Stuart Baird, painting and posters from Jerome Ferretti, a further examination of Susanne Kilpela's unique sculptures, a new drawing on Herculon presented by Margo McCafferty, a few of Georgi Tsenov's telling cityscapes, an Ursula Vernon steam-punk assemblage, and a couple of new Superior fish from Galerie Bohème host Tom Rudd.
"We need not mention just how much snow we have had so far this season, but for the sake of those living in less fortunate locations: 150 inches as of December 30th (must be some sort of record)," Rudd says. "Stop by and join us with a cuppa, some fresh bread and cheese, and trade complaints on the weather."
