2. Workshop: Stone Bear Carving 


When: Saturday March 2, 09:00 to 17:00
Where: Smith and Barber Atelier
1520 Triole (Belfast and St. Laurent, behind Red Lobster)
Workshop Leader: Patrick Imai

Looking for a special handmade gift to give for a wedding or other occasion. Learn how to carve soapstone using hand tools. You will be guided by the instructor, Patrick Imai, through the soapstone carving process of cutting, shaping, sanding and polishing to produce a small bear, 3” x 3” x 5”. Tools and materials are provided.

Patrick Imai is a self-taught sculptor who has carved for more than 40 years. He has dabbled in other art forms: sketching, painting and glass (stained, fused, flamework), but he always returned to carving. He carved in wood, whittling small animals and figures with a pocket knife or with palm chisels, then in the late 90’s, Patrick tried stone carving. He was hooked by the ease of working with soapstone and by the colours and texture of the polished stone. He has since carved alabaster, serpentine, limestone, selenite and marble. Patrick has a passion for carving bears. He works to evoke human emotions and movement in his carvings.

Patrick is a member of Arteast, Arts Network Ottawa, the Kanata Civic Art Gallery and the National Capital Network of Sculptors.

Call to Artists 2020, Galerie Old Chelsea

Galerie Old Chelsea, 783 Rte105, Chelsea, Quebec is hoping you might want to circulate our Call to Artists for 2020. We have a special exhibit space (40 linear feet) in our beautiful gallery and like to invite artists to consider three week shows with us. Depending on the year and the number of our own (10) associates who wish to have a show, we invite 8-10 guest artists and hope to have others who might be on a “wait list”.

We offer our gallery for a fee of $275, with 35% on all sales. Artists generally have a vernissage on the first Sunday of the show… we help with that, but costs associated with food and drink are not covered. We do help with marketing and publicity, but ask the artist to provide invitation cards and posters.

Our web site is www.galerieoldchelsea.ca and the Call to Artists can be found there in both languages.
