PAINTING AND FINE WOODWORKING DEMONSTRATION

Gallery House, 826 Santa Cruz Ave.

Gallery House will host a demonstration of technique by two of their Featured Artists. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.

Painter Peter Koltai will give a live demonstration of his “Color Cell” technique, from start to the completion of a finished painting. An example of Peter’s paintings will be given by lottery to a lucky attendee.

Fine woods artist, Darryl Dieckman will describe the process he uses to select woods for his distinct creations and point out a few of the nuances of fine woodworking that often go unnoticed.  He will demonstrate the use of hand planes to prepare a glass-like surface and the application of a hand rubbed shellac finish that infuses life and warmth into the piece.
