If you have any questions\, please reach out to Lexi (alexar@bethanyarts.org). \nDuring the classes\, participants learn the process of making jewelry using Bronze or Silver Metal Clay. Students need no previous knowledge or experience and will have lots of fun creating stunning pieces. \nMetal Clay is a unique crafting medium made from microscopic metal particles mixed with an organic binder and water. It’s easy to use\, fun\, non-toxic and is safe to work with one’s hands. \nOriginating in Japan in 1990\, metal clay can be shaped just like any soft clay\, by hand or using molds. After drying\, the clay can be fired in a variety of ways such as in a kiln\, with a handheld gas torch\, or on a gas stove\, depending on the type of clay and the metal in it. The binder burns away\, leaving the pure sintered metal. Shrinkage of between 8% and 10%. \nAbout Barbara Kirby\nBarbara graduated from Webster University with a BFA. She studied at the Boca Museum of Art School and the Westchester Arts Workshop. She has also studied at the Castle Hill Art School in North Truro\, MA. and the Metalwerx School for Jewelry & Metal Arts in Boston. She continues to study with master metal clay jewelry artist Terry Kovalcik. \nBarbara has a 20-year background in metalsmithing and metal clay jewelry. She has led workshops and classes throughout the Northeast and Florida. Her unique handmade jewelry is available for sale at local venues and on Etsy.com. \nBarbara maintains her jewelry studio in Ossining\, NY. \nWebsite: https://www.bkirbyjewelry.com/about \n

SUMMARY:"The Joy of Nature" by Linda Perlmutter
DESCRIPTION:“The Joy of Nature” by Linda Perlmutter \nAs a child\, Linda was always fascinated by the natural world and had intended to be a research biologist. She was given a microscope at an early age\, and filled many logbooks drawing what she saw through its lens. This appreciation of nature continued when she later studied watercolor at The Art Students’ League. The result was a career of paintings that reflect “The Joy of Nature”. \nExhibit Dates: April 9-18\, 2024\nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday 10AM-4PM \nA generous percentage of the proceeds from paintings sold will be donated to Kids’ Club of Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow\, Inc.\, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support underserved youth in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. You can read more about Kids’ Club’s mission at www.kidsclubtarrytown.org.  \nAbout Linda Perlmutter\, President and Founder of Odyssey Art Centers and Odyssey Art at Sea\nWhen her son\, John\, was an infant\, Linda started teaching classes to both adults and children in her studio in Sleepy Hollow\, New York. While adult classes are in watercolor painting\, her children’s classes were based on a fine arts program which used the art of a culture as a starting point. Students typically stayed in her classes for many years\, creating a perpetual waiting list. Her classes featured more than a basic art curriculum; they are really\, as she called it\, “a learning center” touching on art history\, geography\, science\, literature\, etc. There was always a yearly theme (such as Greek or Roman art) and a multitude of media was used in each session. \nAs her classes became more and more popular\, she was invited to teach in various places outside of her studio. While she was a guest at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires\, the activities director watched her painting and invited her to come and teach the guests. For seven years she went there three times a year and taught creative watercolor classes. She had a cable show for many years\, where artists of all levels watched her create paintings. Over 35 years ago she was invited to be an instructor on luxury ships. Classes which started with eight or ten guests (and before Odyssey Art at Sea typically shrunk to two or less participants) often wound up with 35 or 40 guests\, or more. \nShe has taught art everywhere\, from her studio\, to the QE2 to the Whitney Museum. She got her start teaching art in the New York City public schools\, and went on to teach a graduate course to teachers on the creative use of art media. Linda studied watercolor painting at the Art Students’ League in New York with Mario Cooper for ten years in addition to studying at the China Institute in New York. She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Hunter College in New York. \nBased on her experiences as an art instructor on luxury cruise lines\, in 1996\, Linda was asked by a cruise line to establish the Odyssey Art at Sea program. She has since trained over 380 instructors in her special method of teaching creative art to cruise guests. Potential instructors come from all over the world to her studio in Sleepy Hollow\, New York for an intense workshop. She created a special program exclusively for Crystal Cruises called the Masterpiece Program\, where guests enjoy an in-depth art experience working with a particular medium. Some of the areas explored to date are: acrylics\, scrapbooking\, stone sculpture\, jewelry design\, collage\, mosaics\, clay sculpture and reliefs\, watercolor\, pastel pencils\, decoupage\, relief paintings\, and weaving.  She is very proud that the Odyssey Art at Sea program has been on every Crystal Cruises ocean cruise for 24 years. \nLinda continues to paint regularly.  She employs a wet-on-wet technique\, in which she applies paints to already moistened paper\, which lends a soft-edged\, almost misty look to some of her works.  Linda’s works have won many awards and are included in many private and corporate collections. They have been shown in galleries from Tel Aviv to Wisconsin and Maine.  She is also known as an artist for collections published by H. George Caspari\, a premier note card company\, which has been reproducing her paintings for over forty years. \nShe lives in Sleepy Hollow\, New York with her German Shepherd\, Apollo\, and has two grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Remarkable Women In And Around Ossining
DESCRIPTION:Remarkable Women In And Around Ossining\n“Remarkable Women In and Around Ossining” is a multi-modal exhibit that will highlight the lives and accomplishments of 16 women who lived in our midst.  Some\, like abolitionist Sojourner Truth\, need little introduction\, while others\, like Anne M. Dorner\, have a middle school named after them yet remain a mystery. \nThrough words\, pictures\, and artifacts\, you’ll experience the personality of each woman\, the history around them\, and learn about their contributions to our community and the world. \nThe list includes artists and activists\, abolitionists and suffragists\, philanthropists and missionaries. \nIt’s an eclectic group\, bound together by one essential element – they all made a difference to the world in front of them. \n“A person’s legacy isn’t all about the grand sweep of history; sometimes it’s about quiet choices that touch the lives of others.”\n– Patti Davis \nExhibit Dates: March 15 – April 5\, 2024\nOpening Reception: March 15\, 2024 7-9PM \nGallery Hours:\nMonday-Friday: 10AM-4PM\nSaturdays\, March 16 & 23: 10AM-2PM \nCurated By Caroline Curvan\n \n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Curvan is the current Ossining Town Historian\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe is also a professional researcher\, writer\, and Broadway stage manager\, as well as a teacher of English Composition and Literature at the college level.  Recent career highlights include co-authoring Croton Point Park: Westchester’s Jewel on the Hudson for the History Press\, lead researcher for the PBS/American Masters documentary Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page\, and stage manager for Broadway shows including The Kite Runner\, The Collaboration\, Kinky Boots and Chicago. \nShe writes the popular blog OssiningHistoryontheRun.com \n\n\n\n\n\n \nThis project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.
