(Jewelry by Emily McFadden)
Spring has arrived! Green is beginning to replace the winter landscape, the birds are busy building nests and the artists at Artists’ Gallery Sunriver are inspired to create colorful new works!
Please join us on April 12 for a fun Second Saturday event at the gallery from 4-6pm. Enjoy a sip of wine, some nibbles, and wonderful Artist’s Demonstrations. Learn something new and meet the many new artists who have joined the gallery in the past few months.
Emily McFadden (The Fringed Hour) creates precise and beautiful earrings and bracelets with high-quality Japanese seed beads. Her color selections are quite beautiful and so varied. “Attention to detail in my work, collaborating, and sourcing high-quality materials from other small businesses are of utmost importance to me. I really enjoy being a ‘maker,’ and my inspirations are limitless. I typically begin with the colors and the designs come next.”
Emily’s latest design is a stretchy colorful bracelet… comfort and design detail set these new pieces apart! Join us April 12 to see Emily’s creativity in action!
Loom weaver Perry Drevo creates beautiful table runners, scarves and shawls with intricately detailed patterns. Many of her pieces feature ‘Ikat.’ Ikat is a centuries-old art and technique of resist dyeing patterns into threads before weaving. “My beautiful woven scarves and table runners are examples of this exacting process. I tied the pattern and then dyed all the yarns before weaving. I have primarily indigo dyed as well as other dyed pieces displayed at the Artists’ Gallery.
“Having a lifelong love of textiles with vibrant colors and a diversity of fibers, I decided to pursue my life-long dream of weaving. In my naturally sunlit studio, equipped with multi-shaft looms, it is fun to see the interplay of colors from a simple scarf to an intricately structured shawl come alive!”
Artists’ Gallery is open daily from 10am to 5pm in the Village at Sunriver. The 35 local artists work in the gallery and look forward to sharing the arts of Central Oregon.
