McNett’s large-scale wood carvings and intricate prints stand in powerful dialogue with Venom’s punk-infused quilts and textile works.

Egg Tempera and Silverpoint Class: Using Early Renaissance Techniques Today
Class Schedule: Saturday, October 11 | 2 – 5:00 PM
Artist Eileen Kennedy will introduce the early Renaissance techniques of silverpoint and egg tempera, media in most prominent use prior to 1450. After a brief slide lecture about historical and contemporary artists using these materials (i.e. Botticelli and Wyeth), the artist will discuss the materials used to make panels for silverpoint and egg tempera and demonstrate how to make and apply tempera paint. Participants will have the remainder of the workshop to create a still life drawing in silverpoint. Still life objects, paper, and silverpoint styli will be available for use. Kennedy’s own works in silverpoint and egg tempera will be on view in the gallery.
