Ballard's First Fridays
If all goes well with the roads to Buffalo and back, Michael Plourde will be in the gallery for the First Friday on February 7th from 4-7!!!
If possible, I would like for Michael to say a few things about his pottery process at 5 PM. I feel like this may only take about 15 minutes, but I found his process very interesting and I know you will too! So , If you are interested, Don't be late!
Michael Plourde is a Graduate of the University of Northern Colorado with a BA in Fine Arts “Ceramics” and a BA in Fine Arts Education. Michael was a Fine Arts Teacher for 34 years teaching Ceramics, Sculpture, Painting and Drawing.
Michael currently resides in Buffalo, Wyoming. Over the years he has been involved in many national, state and regional juried art shows, exhibitions and workshops.
"I have even won four or five awards for my works. Also had couple in teaching fine art. I have been declined from shows a couple of times as well. Its all an opinion and is just part of Art experience. These experiences have been great but are not as important to me as the exploration of new ideas and techniques in my artwork. I find it very important to give my works intrinsic merit with a little humanistic character. A different way of showing the beauty in ceramic works. As I continue my work, I find that a sequence from ideas occur. They become my next work and I can hardly wait to see what’s next." - Michael Plourde
Wine and light appetizers served.
SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!
