Remember Luminescence? The exhibition of two- and three-dimensional light-based works that marks the spring equinox is returning to Deer Lake Gallery this March – and you have a chance to be part of the fun.
Leading up to the show, the gallery is hosting a couple of workshops to help you tap into your creative side.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, there’s a Digital Stained Glass workshop led by artist Steven Smethurst. Participants will learn to design and make an illuminated digital stained glass window. All the finished work will be displayed for Luminescence V at the gallery, then it will be yours to take home. The workshop costs $125.
Then there’s a two-day lantern-making workshop being held on two Saturdays, Feb. 29 and March 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Andrew Tuline is leading the workshop, in which participants will create their own lanterns using LED lighting and materials such as grape vines, bamboo and round reed, with layers of tissue to diffuse the light. The finished lanterns will be part of Luminescence V. The lantern workshop costs $75.
