On Friday, February 19th, beginning at 6:00p.m, The Venue will host a reception featuring the hand crafted Jewelry of Amy Greey and the Raku Ceramics of Dr. Al Scovern.

Amy Greely is one of the most creative and revered metal- smith jewelry makers in the Midwest. She began her art education at the Herron School of Art. Further studies at Indiana University provided her knowledge and experience in traditional metalsmithing techniques. Amy has been juried into the Indiana Artisan Group.

In Amy’s hands, sterling silver is formed, textured and enhanced with an array of patina choices offering a rich and varied palette. Further additions of gold/silver bi-metal add another layer of contrasts resulting in a fresh approach to traditional processes. Amy will be present and showing her newest creations, some of which are specifically appropriate for Valentine’s Day gifts.

Dr. Al Scovern has mastered a western version of the traditional Japanese ceramic techniques of Raku. Dr. Scovern has also traveled the American Southwest and studied the techniques of Indian pottery makers. That influence too can

be seen in many of his creations. All of his ceramics are stunningly beautiful. These are your family’s heirlooms of tomorrow.

Refreshments will be served at The Venue. You can visit the following link for free parking options near The Venue: http://bloomington.in.gov/parksmart.
