Pay It Forward

A show of the circle of generosity and growth

Artist receptions:
Saturday April 12th - 4-8 pm
Saturday May 10th 4-8 pm

‘Paying it forward’ is the art of keeping generosity flowing. It honors the help you've received in life and the people who have supported you—not by recognizing or thanking them directly—by passing that kindness on in an ever-widening circle.

For Anita Lehmann, that ever-widening circle has been her students. This show brings together the work of artist, award-winning illustrator, and 35 year arts educator Anita Lehmann and a selection of her students.

Anita says:
" My teachers, my wise spirits, have guided me, and now I have the privilege of paying it forward through my own teaching. This show is a beautiful representation of that cycle—my lessons and passion reflected in these talented students. I look forward to seeing them carry it forward, continuing the ripple of generosity and inspiration.

Artist include:
Anita Lehmann
Grace Schlitt (Side Rail Member)
Jon Zulauf
Jean Orino
Michael Rydinski
Alison Scheetz

Auntie Death is here. here to sing you lilting lullabies when you are restless and tired. here to bring you your coziest blanket melody when you’re sad. here to hold and steady your hand with driving rhythm when you’re happy.

We hope to see you all Thursday!!

A Taste of Handbuilding

We’ll introduce a variety of clay handbuilding techniques by building several pieces. Your pieces will be glazed and fired with a nice white glaze and returned to you.

Techniques learned will include: pounding, stretching, piercing and rolling clay into slabs and coils. We'll build little dwellings, create openings by cutting holes, etc. We'll form thin slabs into little ‘shark shot’ espresso cups. Smooth slab handles onto funky slab mugs. We will pinch clay into roundish little pots.

You will be encouraged to get as much experience as possible with each technique. The emphasis of class is not perfecting any one technique. We’re getting as many experiences as possible handling clay. Clay body used will be red terracotta clay.

Learn to manipulate terracotta clay and create basic forms. Your work will be returned to you fired and

glazed with a nice white glaze.

When: November 15, 5:30-8pm 

Cost: $85 per class

Come join us at our monthly arts night, a collaboration from Acorn Collective and Siderail Collective.  All are welcome for this combined open mic and visual arts activity!

What is an Open Arts Night? We'll have a guided art activity combined with an open mic! The art activity will be different each month, but expect things like watercolor, pottery, sketching, etc. While people are working on their artwork, people can also share music, poetry, or any other creative work! If you would prefer to bring your own art project to work on please feel free.

November:

This month we will feature a watercolor workshop led by art educator Jenny Davidson.  We will focus on making small cards and tags that can be used for gift giving, entertaining, or sparking your creativity. Come and unleash your inner artistic talents, no experience necessary!  As our days become shorter, darkness makes space for creativity – you can take these watercolor techniques with you into winter - and continue to practice with a warm cup of tea. What better way to step into winter than music, art, and a warm cup of tea. A short lesson will be followed by open studio time in an inspiring atmosphere.

The open mic welcomes all performers of music, spoken word or other art forms.  Please share! Our featured performer will be local singer songwriter Asia, who will share her beautiful songs on ukulele.

We'll get started at 7:30pm. We are asking for a $10 suggested donation to help cover the costs of art supplies, etc.

You're welcome to BYOB, but we will also have snacks and drinks available for additional donation. 

All gender identities are welcome to attend!
