July 22 to Aug 3	Honoring a “Retrospective” of local potter: Pauline Newhouse Artist Retrospective Celebration: July 21 Honoring a “Retrospective” of long time local potter, Pauline Newhouse. “I trained as a nurse at the Regina Grey Nuns Hospital married my husband Joe and we raised four children. Then, in the 70s I took up “potting.” I studied Fine Arts at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and majored in sculpture. For the past 35 years I have exhibited in Alberta and BC. Ever since Joe and I retired to our Lillian Lake residence in 1985, I have had the pleasure of showing my work at Pynelogs Cultural Centre in Invermere, BC. I am much honored to have traveled to my home town of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan in 2005 to attend the opening of a “state of the art” Gallery donated to the community by Dr. William Shurniak. It will house his own art collection as well as provide a cultural centre for the art community. My sculpture titled “Three Sisters” was unveiled at the opening ceremonies. It is a tribute to our parents from myself and my two sisters. It is in the Shurniak Gallery’s permanent collection. I’ve enjoyed another year in my “Clay Studio” creating functional as well as sculptural pieces. My gas-fired kiln has been performing exceptionally well. It has been producing interesting colours in the stoneware glazes. I fire to cone 9 ½ (2350 F) in a “reducing” atmosphere and use various oxides over basic white and a scrap glaze. My sculptural pieces are mostly unglazed on the exterior and are burnished with iron oxide.” Please join us in celebrating the successes of our talented local potter on Monday July 21st at 7 pm. Time: 7:00 – 9:00 pm	Pynelogs
