'GIFTED'- A CERAMIC EXHIBITION

Hi. I know it's a bit late in the day but I thought I'd let you know about my 'Open Days' at the pottery where I will be showing my latest works and fabulous glazes, serve some home made (by me) sweet and savoury scones and offer refuge from the storm with a little warm mulled wine.... and where you may find some handmade Xmas presents!

It's all happening this week end, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th November from 15-19hrs in my workshop:

Rua dos Coelhos, 59, Qtª da Marinha, 2750-008, Cascais;

93 415 6882- call if you need directions.

Hope to see you there,
Cathy.

ETCHING WORKSHOPS - Casa do Celeiro, Colares

Etching is a 500 year old medium involving drawing on copper or zinc plates, ‘etching’ them, and printing from them on a press. Acid and non-acid techniques are taught including: drypoint(non-acid), hard ground, aquatinting and sugar lift among others(acid). It is an incredibly varied medium where ‘mistakes’ lead one to new and surprising ideas and results. Printing is one of the highpoints as well as experimenting with more than one technique on a plate.

Mary St.George is an experienced art teacher and artist who runs painting and etching workshops in her studio in Colares.

Time/Day: 10am – 5pm / Sundays or weekday by previous arrangement / Cost: €50 / lunch and materials included except printing plates (20% student discount)

Place: Casa do Celeiro, Pé da Serra, Colares

Greetings

Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to this group. I'm a woodworker from the U.S. living in Lisbon for the past four years. I make custom furniture which spans the range from utilitarian and elegant to sculptural and funky. I've had my shop set up in Lisbon for the past couple years and am currently looking to meet fellow artists/artisans as well as expand my client base. I welcome you all to view my website at www.mikeoleson.com and to come by for a visit.

Cheers,

Mike Oleson

Black & White

Last week I participated in a Black & White photo week on a photo forum and I would like to share my photos of that week. Thanks to Francisca Ribeiro and Jens Selin for being so kind to model a few times for me in their Quinta.

My intention was to shoot 7 photos from people with different emotion.

Catharine Sens - Exhibition update and show in July

Catharine says;

Just an update to let you know that I had a 3-day solo exhibition of my oil paintings in Junceira from May 13-14-15. It was held at the historic municipal building in a spacious and elegant room, and the turnout was reasonably good. Response was very positive.

My next solo show will be for the entire month of July at the biblioteca in Tomar. The Festa dos Tabuleiros will take place during this time.

Quote from: "Poverty and wealth of Creativity" Peter Aspden. F.T 5/3/11

"..And what of the art scene today? It is both easier and a lot more difficult to find. Art fairs and auctions trip over themselves to announce the brash launch of new talents; but they do not constitute a real scene, any more than a Sunday morning trip to Madame Tussauds. The underground is deeper underground, while the surface calls all the shots. We have confused noise with impact and true creativity is more elusive  than ever.

Create Portugal is now linked with its Facebook page and network founder.

Members of the network are invited to post and share these websites.

The first meetings

We have had our first meetings! It was a good beginning, very positive, with a lot to think about and plan, for the network´s success. Thank you to everyone who came.
