SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – LARRY RICCI\, WOODWORK ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with woodworking artist Larry Ricci during the Gallery Walk in July. \nOne of the greatest gifts Larry ever received was when his dad put tools in his hands when he was a kid. He was later inspired by the sculptural furniture of artist George Nakashima and visited the Nakashima studio often in the years that followed. After a 40+ year career in education\, he began working mostly with local\, highly figured hardwoods and burls to create unique pieces of art that maintain the organic beauty of the wood. The wood\, with its shape\, figure\, imperfections and voids\, is what draws his attention and curiosity. Sometimes the imperfections are what creates the greatest interest in studying the piece. Larry always attempts to balance form and function\, but sometimes one of those wins out.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – HOLLAND VAN GORES\, WOOD & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and watch Holland Van Gores apply milk paint to his incredible wooden sculptures. \nHolland has spent the better part of his life working with wood. As a child\, he had access to his father’s workshop and was able to use the tools and supplies. Learning these skills early in life\, led him to choose a career in construction where he honed his skills in California before taking on construction work in remote Costa Rica and eventually the United States Virgin Islands. Holland and his family relocated to western North Carolina in 2012 where he built a studio surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. He is constantly experimenting with forms and textures\, often inspired by organic themes. “Making something with my hands allows me to feel a connection to that piece\, giving it a purpose.”

SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – JANIE PACKER\, CERAMICS & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Ceramics artist Janie Packer will join the Lucy Clark Gallery for the August Gallery walk. \nJanie often only has the germ of an idea when she starts a new project\, and she lets a wild dance between her and the clay direct the process. As the work progresses\, it may start to look like a weeping woman\, or a cat with a crown on its head. She lets the dance go on until the basic form emerges. If it makes her smile\, then the refining process begins. Pieces may be fired multiple times until the surface treatment is completed. Regardless of the outcome\, her work deals with the idea of human fragility. It is about compassion for people as they journey from suffering on towards enlightenment.

SUMMARY:Centennial Sounds Presents Rebecca Porter & the Rhinestone Roses with The Wilder Flower
DESCRIPTION:Amplifying diverse Appalachian voices \nMusic and dance have been a vital part of the Folk School since its founding in 1925. As we celebrate our 100th year\, Centennial Sounds honors this legacy by spotlighting the cultural richness of Appalachian music and the many voices that shape it. This special performance series will feature five headliners whose work expands and redefines the story of Appalachian music. Through these concerts\, we aim to create new opportunities for our community in Western North Carolina to experience the full spectrum of Appalachian sound.
