This Fall and Holiday season will bring many festive events at Calico Gallery @ Le Hatchery Galleria.
In October, our “Friends of Calico Gallery at Le Hatchery” were the “Tidewater Camera Club” (TCC) group. From still life to action, this group of artists is why photography is truly an art form. The Tidewater Camera Club displayed their their works in the main lobby of Le Hatchery Galleria and the Hatch Gallery. In November we will celebrate Waterfowl, so our lobby will have framed waterfowl art, legacy duck stamps, decoys, and posters from the past.
November will have a lot of fun and excitement starting with Saturday, November 5th – our “1st Saturday Art Fest”. Check out our resident artists and friends to see what they have made, or can make, for you. There will also be “Art Fest” events schedule on Saturday December 3rd, and Saturday January 7th. What a way to kick off your Holiday shopping season. Don’t worry… we will continue “Art Fest” throughout the winter on every “1st Saturday”. Refreshments will be available for your enjoyment.
Our artisans may have already made a great gift item for the lucky person on your list. Janette Jones’ inventory of colorful “fused glass” jewelry is growing every day. Paul Winters has made some unique fused glass coasters and many other décor items for your home. If it is hand made from glass or metal, it was probably made by Sharon Stockley. It is an easy bet that you will find a wonderful gift made by Sharon – for yourself or a friend. If it is cold glass you prefer, Lisa Skibenes is our resident “mosaic” expert. Lisa has just gotten into “dogs”. Bring in a portrait of your dog, and give Lisa the opportunity to make a lasting mosaic image for you. Speaking of mosaics, Come in and check out Lisa’s mosaic birds, stunning dragon fly, butterfly and many other unique items.
Holiday WREATHS…
Also, in early November we will be starting our Holiday Wreath project. All wreaths will be made here – by our staff, or by you. As we build up our inventory of wreaths, we will begin projects where you can learn how to make a wreath, or you can come on and make your own wreath. Get into the Holiday spirit by making a beautiful wreath for your front door.
For the remainder of the year and into 2017 check our Facebook page and website for classes that are being planned.
You still have time to get an “enhanced nautical map” before Christmas. We are offering you the opportunity to own an attractive – one of a kind – art enhance NOAA map. You choose what you want painted, and either you or one of our artist will create the images on a pre mounted NOAA map of your choosing. The framing of the map will add the final touch. In addition, we can transfer photo images of your boat or other Chesapeake icons we own onto any NOAA map.
As always, Calico Gallery at Le Hatchery Galleria provides the highest quality custom framing service at the best price anywhere.
