June 8th Membership Meeting

June 8, 2011 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The June membership meeting of The Guild of Metalsmiths is set for June 8 at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts. Join your TGOM
friends there at 6:30 pm for our traditional potluck, followed by the business meeting. Then take some time to learn all about the art center.
The Minnetonka Center for the Arts is a community arts center offering a broad range of visual arts instruction in metal and stone
sculpture, ceramics, painting, weaving photography, and other disciplines. The Art Center has one of the only publicly accessible bronze
foundries in the Midwest, and welcomes TGOM to tour this facility and observe the steps involved in creating an object in bronze—from
making a design in wax, to pouring hot molten bronze to finishing a piece with a patina. There will also be a blacksmithing demonstration by
Dave Mariette making a button scroll. Judd Nelson, a Guild member as well as an instructor at MCA, will also have some of his metal
sculptures on display.
You are welcome to tour the studios of the various disciplines in the building as well as to view an exhibition of dozens of works of art,
including paintings, sculpture, glass, stone, textiles, photographs, ceramics, and jewelry made by Art Center members in the gallery.
See you at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts on June 8!
