SUMMARY:Text: The Art of Language
DESCRIPTION:The Pearl Ellis Gallery presents Text: The Art of Language from September 16 to October 11\, 2025. This exhibition explores the powerful role that text plays in communication\, expression\, and meaning-making within the visual arts. \nThe public is warmly invited to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments at the opening reception on Saturday\, September 20\, from 1–3 pm. \nText\, in its many forms\, serves as a bridge between the visual and the verbal. It can tell stories\, convey ideas\, or function as a graphic element that adds depth and complexity to an artwork. In this show\, artists have taken up the challenge of integrating words and symbols into their creations\, inviting viewers to consider how language shapes the way we see and interpret art. \nThe exhibition features a diverse range of mediums—including painting\, photography\, collage\, glass\, and mixed media—each offering a unique perspective on how text can be used as both image and message. Some works use language as their central subject\, while others allow words to whisper quietly beneath the surface. Together\, they demonstrate the versatility of text as a creative tool.

SUMMARY:Intro To Quilting- A Simple Sampler
DESCRIPTION:Oct 9 – Nov 13\n\nFeeling intimidated about quilting? It can feel scary\, but a calm and compassionate teacher with a plan will help you work through the step to succeed! Enter Lorraine! Please read the complete description before registration!\n\nThis multi-week class is a great primer\, encompassing  the basic skills you need for almost any future quilt.\n\nPrerequisite: Students should have some experience on a sewing machine (within the last year or so)\, some comfort with straight line sewing.\n\nYou’ll learn about fabrics\, colours\, print and how many different ways you can make something look great!\n\nYou’ll gain confidence with measuring and cutting with the rotary cutter and learn chain-piecing and pressing.\n\nYou’ll learn the tips and tricks to make 4-squares look great\, how to make log cabins and the essential- half square triangles!\n\nThe pattern we’ve created for this class is somewhat modular- if you want to play with the design\, you may. However\, if you know yourself to be indecisive or perfectionist\, we invite you to make it as designed to take that pressure off you\, and to spend your energy learning\, not thinking!\n\nNext\, you’ll construct your whole quilt top\, quilt and bind it.\n\nSome people (like Nicole) love piecing quilts but don’t enjoy the actual quilting part- so you’ll have the option to have it long-arm quilted by Lorraine (for a fee)\, and then you’ll bind it!\n\nThe thing about quilts- they are infinite. One design can be made so personally and so uniquely time and again!\n\nBatting and thread is included in the cost of the class\, but fabric is not. We know many people have their own fabric they want to use\, and using the collected stash is a great way to get started!\n\nYou can use as few as two fabrics for a very graphic look\, or 50 for a scrappy look.
