Trinidad Art Gallery 6th Anniversary Party!November Featured Artists: Elaine Y Shore and Jim Lowry Celebration on Saturday, November 24th, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Wine will be poured by Friends of the Dunes. Music by harpist Howdy Emerson and J.D. Jeffries Elaine Y Shore has been creating original, hand painted and hand carved, one of a kind , functional porcelain since 2009, when she moved to Humboldt County after a career in financial modeling and corporate finance. Her pieces are meant to be beautiful, functional art to be used every day and include bowls, vases, mugs, tumblers and dishes. Using a fine, white porcelain, she throws or hand builds each piece, then fires the kiln to 2,245°F, also called Cone 10, so that the pieces are very durable. Recently, Elaine has been working in two complementary styles: She uses colored underglazes to hand paint the porcelain, which is then fired, then dipped in a clear glaze and fired again, resulting in bright, colorful work featuring flowers, fish and animals. She also creates striking, black and white pieces which she hand carves, using a technique called “sgraffito”. Jim Lowry Redwood Park Jim Lowry South Fork Eel River
