The Art Club is went to Frederick to peruse their galleries on Saturday Afternoon, 1 April. We went to the Tatem Arts Center at Hood College, where we saw the "Reflections" exhibit at the Hodson Gallery. The exhibit was to celebrate Women's History Month in March, and displayed paintings, mixed-media prints, and sculpture that expressed the experiences and feelings about women in society of the four artists featured: Jill A. Lion, Christine Nicoll Parson, Patricia Underwood, and Diane Wilson Hollowell.
We then went downtown and perused four galleries: Thames Fine Arts & Framing, McGuire Fine Arts Gallery & Framing, The Museum Shop, and the Artist Gallery.
We went to the reception of the Delaplaine Visual Art Center's "Fire & Glass" exhibit featuring our own Professor Jason Mills, 3-D design. The works were ceramic. The reception had live music (Stream Ohrstom & Guest). The reception was from 3 to 5 pm .
Afterwards, we shopped in the Fredericktowne Mall, eating at Arby's.

We scheduled a Pottery Sale for
Saturday, 20 May from 8 am until 2 pm. We spent $30 of Earned Income to rent two spaces (Spaces 26 & 27) at the Western Maryland Center Craft Fair. It was held in their parking lot off of Pennsylvania Avenue, Hagerstown, Maryland. We cancelled for lack of a certified HCC fleet vehicle driver. The plan was to use the 15 passenger van to haul tables and merchandise out there and back. Most of our club had other obligations or were involved in Commencement that day. Though the event was rain or shine, that morning did have rain, and the rest of the day was cold and damp, so perhaps it was best we cancelled.
Also on Saturday, 20 May, our Club President, Chris Foxwell, graduated from Hagerstown Community College. He was awarded at the ceremony with two plaques commemorating his involvement in campus activities.
We held a Tilemaking Workshop with Moravian Pottery & Tile Works' Adam Zayas He is a graduate of Boston University's program in Artisanry. He has broad, in depth experience with clay, glazes, kilns, and mold making. He has worked as a technical consultant in Honduras, Central America. He currently resides in Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania. This two day workshop will explore designing of tiles and mosaics. Many of the design methods are those utilized by the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works.
Participants will work out tile deigns, cast molds, and observe the production of a mosaic, as well as the setting of a previously fired mosaic.
This workshop was open to all skill levels, beginner thru advanced.
