The first of Art in August's 2024 "meet the artist" receptions takes place on Thursday, August 8 from 6 pm to 8 pm at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate, 39 Church St. The public is invited to meet Wendy Jo New, maker of fine contemporary jewelry, and Sue Whitten Clark, creator of beautiful textile art,
Wendy Jo New produces fine contemporary jewelry and other metal designs primarily in the precious metals of gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. These are often further defined with the addition of texturing, gemstones and other unique lapidary, or resin inlay. Her work has been described as "Clean. Crisp. Geometric. Architectural. Subtle elegance." She finds designing and fabricating engagement and wedding bands and other jewelry, often with people’s own stones, particularly meaningful.
Susan Whitten-Clark is a longtime Winchester resident and active member in the art community. She is showing some of her recent fabric collage and quilts, which feature ombre and hand painted batik fabrics.
Admission is free, refreshments are served—come to look or to buy!
