Trenholm Artist Guild Meeting Nov 8, 2010
The Trenholm Artists Guild (known locally as TAG) is located in Columbia, South Carolina. Members include but are not limited to amateur and professional artists who work in watercolor, oil, acrylics, pastel, sculpture, fiber, and photography. Residents of the Greater Columbia area over 18 years of age are invited to join. Meetings are held monthly September through May on the 2nd Monday of the month at Forest Lake Park, 6820 Wedgefield Road. Visitors are invited to attend our meetings.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM
November's speaker will be Diane Gilbert. Come to the Forest Lake Park at 6:30 to register and enjoy refreshments. The business meeting and guest speaker program will begin at 7:00.From mosquitoes and caterpillars to life-like monkeys and snakes, Diane Gilbert's sculpture is centered in the world of nature. Diane was born and grew up in Canada's French-speaking province, Quebec. With extensive education in various art media, she worked for several years as a professional designer, creating costumes, mascots, movie props, and items for museums and other organizations
After relocating to the southeastern United States in 2000, Diane began to work with clay. She fell in love with the feel and potential of the medium. She believes that clay is powerful and feels grounded with her hands in clay. The medium is well suited for expressing her love for natures large and small creatures.
When it comes to the technical character of Diane's work, almost anything is fair game. She uses several types of clay, from earthenware to porcelain. For finishes, she uses a full range of elements: glazes, underglazes, stains, oxides, lusters, and paint. On average she fires her pieces three times to get the effects desired but may fire her work as many as six times. Additionally, other media is sometimes incorporated in her pieces including wood fragments, wire, feathers, fiberglass and found and recycled objects.
Diane's wonderful creations can be found at Southern Pottery and Havens Gallery in Columbia.

Lecafe Jazz plans Grand Opening for Fri. Nov 5th
Due to the miracles performed from numerous musicians and volunteers of the Skipp Pearson Foundation ... Jazz Town also known as Columbia, SC will soon be home to LeCafe Jazz, a new venue in downtown Columbia's beautifully landscaped Finlay Park which sits behind the Assembly St. PO and in front of the Strom building on the Laurel St. side. (how was that for a bit of geography?) The plan is for this to be a really artsy place featuring live jazz music and a variety of visual art. Many of you know Skipp Pearson (pictured) because you have seen him at Hunterer Gatherer on North Main Street, where he has had a running gig every Thursday night for many years.

Going to Lady Gaga Tonight in Charlotte! Woohoo!
I feel like a pre-adolescent kid...all excited as if I am going to my first concert. Lady Gaga came on the scene a few years ago and the world quickly took notice. It seems from what I can tell there are strong feelings about her one way and another. My friends, who BTW are mostly artists and MUSICIANS... really love her, like I do...or they hate her. I just don't get the hating stuff. Some say she is a Madonna wanna be...I don't think so ...this woman is a classically trained pianist...which is more preparation than Madonna had musically. Madonna was a trained dancer, not a singer and so to me...there is no comparison. Her showmanship is more like Cher, it's over the top, and I am so excited to go see :)
