Martina Page |
||
Although Martina Page was born in the mid 70's she has been making jewellery for well over 20 years. Due to the fact she comes from a highly artistic family of silversmiths, carvers, lapidary artists, writers and painters, being an artist was just inevitable and truly in her blood. She has been teaching jewellery making for about 10 of those years and is a certified Art Clay Silverē Instructor. It is important to Martina to help others experience art and create original works of their own. Her passion for creative and original pieces of wearable works of art is evident in her designs. |

SCULPTURE AND DESIGN |

Fran Solar |
||
Fran Solar has been a weaver for many years, specializing in functional clothing and textiles, using traditional fibers and techniques. In the mid 1990’s she began to experiment with basketry as another textile art form. After taking workshops at Basket Focus Conferences in Toronto, Ottawa, and the Okanagen, she developed an interest in using metals-ie copper, brass, stainless steel, wire, as well as interesting bits and pieces from scrap yards, hardware stores and Boeing Surplus--to create unique woven sculpture, both free standing and wall mounted. She now finds she has more fun improvising arrangements of shapes, textures, materials, and colors than she did as a traditional fiber artist. However she still uses the same loom based textile techniques developed from earlier years to weave these new sculptural forms. |

Ed Colberg |

Ed Colberg grew up in central Alberta but has found his home in the Sea to Sky Valley. When Ed was a child he had a much frowned upon fascination with fire. As an adult Ed still loves to play with fire, however he now uses fire to create art. Blown and sculpted glass are the main media Ed uses to explore themes relating to nature, the human condition and the journey of the soul. Ed has studied glass blowing and glass sculpture with many prominent names in the Canadian and International glass art community. He continually seeks to further his technical skill and his ideas of what is possible with this versatile and captivating medium. Email: edcolberg@gmail.com |
