Kent County Arts and Entertainment Events- January 2023

More info coming soon

Do you have a piece you’ve created but just have not found the perfect venue to show it? Something a bit quirky or just not quite the right fit for the themes of past exhibits?

Then this is the show for you!

RiverArts invites all artists to submit one or two pieces to our ‘Anything Goes” exhibit. All mediums are welcome (both 2 or 3 dimensional) and we encourage artists to submit something a little different or outside the confines of traditional RiverArts themes. You get to pick the theme of the work - as the title suggests, anything goes!

The class will be held at the Clay Studio from 6 - 8:30 pm on Tuesdays, running from January 10th through February 14th. (6 weeks)

This course introduces basic pottery wheel techniques to beginning students with a focus on throwing bowl and cylinder forms. Students will be shown the step-by-step process of wedging, centering, throwing, trimming, and glazing clay into finished pieces. Class time and the encouraged Open Studio practice time will enable students to create at their own level and improve their skills with clay.

The class will be held at the Clay Studio from 6 - 8:30 pm on Wednesdays, running from January 11th through February 15th. (6 weeks)

This 6 week course is intended to be a "next step" for returning beginners. Students will expand and refine their skillset through skills instruction and weekly project assignment. It is a great opportunity to move beyond the basic techniques and deepen your experience with wheel-thrown clay.

Included with instruction is twenty-five pounds of cone 6 clay and six Open Studio tickets.

This course introduces the fundamentals of handbuilding to students of any experience level. Students will learn the process of handbuilding through pinching, coiling and slab building clay, and glaze their work into finished pieces to take home with them. Class time and the encouraged Open Studio practice time will enable students to create at their own level and improve their skills.

Like many forms of craft, Quilling can trace its origins back hundreds of years to 15th century France and Italy when it was created to decorate religious objects. Join artist Marjorie for a fun class and create your own decorative piece in this historic art form. Learn the foundations of Quilling including how to roll paper to create leaves, flowers, and other basic shapes. All materials provided.

Please bring a pair of scissors if possible.

Lecture: The Erotics of Translation

In this lecture which opens her exhibition in Kohl Gallery, SmooOOoOoooooOooth Operator: the eternal outlays ennoble and rekindle an unlikely savior, Rasheed will build on her September 2022 Poetry Project presentation to explore translation as a container to explore how and why we desire comprehension across fields of difference. Exhibition opening reception immediately following the lecture in Kohl Gallery.

For the health and safety of all visitors and staff, please bring a mask with you to the event. Thank you for your empathy!
