Station House Gallery Show

I'm almost ready to deliver blankets, scarves, towels and props to the Station House Gallery in Williams Lake tomorrow. "To Drive the Cold Winter Away" opens on Thursday, November 6 from 5-7 pm and continues to November 22. It's a short time period, just over two weeks, but November is the perfect month to think about facing the upcoming winter.

Taking inspiration from a 17th century Christmas carol, Joan Beck and Jane Perry's exhibition To Drive the Cold Winter Away aims to alleviate the dread that comes with early winter months. "We can embrace winter and see it as an opportunity to gear down with more time indoors for reading, crafts, and gathering with friends" the artists illustrate. Jane's weavings and Joan's pottery, accompanied by a surprise musical guest, provide the perfect indoor comforts to get you through another Cariboo winter.

From the germ of an idea in May 2013, through the proposal submission and acceptance, and then all the collaboration by Joan and me since - next Thursday will be fun!
