Here at Pendle Hill we have a tradition the last week of each term called Festival Week. It is a time for resident student, staff and community members to share what they have accomplished in the preceding 9 weeks. Throughout the week, student will share their presentations. Wednesday morning instead of work morning, we will enjoy a bacon breakfast (a rarity here) The week will end with "Log Night", a Friday evening of fun, music, skits and insights gained while a member of this community this term.
Tomorrow afternoon festivities begin with the Art Show ... a reception with hor d'ovueres and a chance for the artists to share and describe their works to the community, sojourners and the public. Most of this will focus around the pieces made in Carol's pottery / clay class, although others will share photography, painting and woodworking. A resident youth built a sleigh which will be on display. Others created ceramic mosaics and sculpture.
I am contributing several pieces of knitting that I have just completed. The socks are not a pair, and the other sock from each style has yet to be knit. The hat was "just for fun" and a chance to use up some hand spun wool and leftover lavender mohair/wool blend.
I also have 2 pieces of pottery: a jar and a candle holder, that didn't make it to the kiln in time for firing, so they will not be part of this show.
I am excited to see all of the wonderful talent and creations tomorrow. Stay tuned ... I will post a few more photos of some of my favorites soon.
