Mica, a cooperative gallery of fine art and contemporary craft in Bakersville, is now open for its 2022 season. Mica displays the work of its members and invited guest artists on a rotating basis. Founding member Jenny Lou Sherburne will take Mica\u2019s spotlight in May. A potter for more than 30 years, Sherburne makes colorful, functional works. Through her pottery, she strives to reflect her ideal that \u201cour lives can be imbued with a sense of energy and joy which grows when shared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Member Lisa Joerling\u2019s work will be featured in June. Joerling works in jewelry and ceramic sculpture, creating whimsical animal sculptures that have developed an enthusiastic base of regional followers. Joerling describes hearing from collectors that her pieces \u201cmake them laugh every time they see them,\u201d as one of her greatest joys.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more laughter in our lives and animals so easily evoke joy,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Work by Jean McLaughlin, one of two new gallery members, will also be highlighted in June. McLaughlin works with a variety of printmaking techniques from woodcuts and lithographs to painterly and stencil-based monoprints. Her subject matter links a love of landscape, family history, language and pattern.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is a self-portrait in some way,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin was director of Penland School of Craft for 20 years and a program director at the NC Arts Council prior to that. Although she completed a printmaking program in the early 1970s, she waited until 2018 to bring her own studio practice into focus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in studios with artists for 45 years, all the while looking forward to spending each day in one myself,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Nathan Favors, also new to Mica, is a woodturner of functional and sculptural objects who moved to the area five years ago from a small community near Philadelphia. Prior to woodturning, Favors made scientific machines and ran a landscaping and tree removal business. In 1998, after attending a woodturning convention, he knew he had found his calling. Each piece he makes reflects his love of nature and takes, on average, a year to dry before he turns it on the lathe. Favors\u2019 work will be featured in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to study a raw piece of wood and then expose the exquisite patterns hidden inside,\u201d says Favors.<\/p>\n

Located at 37 Mitchell Avenue in Bakersville, Mica is open daily, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12\u20145 p.m. For more information, call 828.688.6422 or visit MicaGalleryNC.com<\/a>.
