This year’s remarkable show features 35 exceptional works by 33 talented craftspeople from a wide variety of craft media –showing the best work in craft mediums ranging from woodworking to jewellery, from textiles to ceramics.”
Every spring, the Saskatchewan Craft Council invites all Saskatchewan craftspeople, both emerging & experienced to submit up to two hand-crafted items for Dimensions, which is the only open juried touring exhibition of Fine Craft in the province.
The Saskatchewan Craft Council entrusts highly qualified jurors with extensive knowledge and different specializations to select the Dimensions exhibition. This year’s exhibition was selected by Mel Bolen, Humboldt, and Chantal Gilbert, Quebec, both of whom are nationally respected artists, known for their unique, experimental work.
This dynamic representation of the excellence in Fine Craft, “Playing With Dimensions”– is on view from November 9 through December 29 at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery, 45 Bison Ave., Weyburn
Sponsored by the Weyburn Arts Council and Saskatchewan Craft Council.
"Bev has been a serious painter for many years. Although her medium of choice has traditionally been watercolours, she has recently also become fond of acrylic painting. An admirer of rustic art, and the effect that the materials had on the artwork, Bev was inspired to add barnboard paintings to her range of talents. She felt that barnboard provided the perfect textures to add detailed expression- and character - to Santa's face. Each face is one-of a kind: expressions are dictated by the individual piece of barnboard. Bev's Santas are painted in acrylics. Artworks can be purchased directly from the artist".
