The more the merrier is the Prince George Community Arts Council's attitude toward their in-house Feature Gallery.
Several artisan groups will be showcased at the gallery until Jan. 30.
The exhibit will display work from the Artists' Workshop, P.G. Fibre Arts Guild, P.G. Quilters' Guild, P.G. Potters' Guild and P.G.
Woodturners' Guild.
The Artists' Workshop is a group of independent artists with a wide range of experience and academic background.
The Prince George Fibre Arts Guild, formerly known as the Prince George Weavers and Spinners Guild, represents various fibre arts including weaving, spinning, felting and knitting. With work bees, get-togethers, a library, rental equipment and workshops they come up with new ideas, products and experiences.
The Prince George Quilters' Guild is a highly-motivated and talented group that focuses on humanitarian work locally and overseas. Throughout the year they make quilts that are distributed annually to the NICU at the University of Northern BC Hospital, victim services and healthiest babies. The quilters also have an annual show at the public library during the month of May. With members ranging from novice to advanced they provide regular workshops to hone skills and learn new ones.
The Prince George Potters' Guild has a rich history of sharing ideas and successes. Best known for their popular pottery classes, the Evening of Decadence, Studio Fair and their seconds table at the Spring Arts Bazaar, the potters' guild bring together those interested in the ceramic arts. The guild has regular meetings and demonstrations, participates in Clayfest and brings in other professional potters to instruct members on new techniques.
The Prince George Woodturners' Guild meets often to gain knowledge from various forms of disciplines. From the novice to the experienced the guild includes scrollers, carvers, woodturners and wood artisans.
Visit the Prince George Community Arts Council, 2880-15th Avenue Feature Gallery to view the art these groups create.
