7th Annual Art Demonstration Day at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn April 13, 2013

Dahmen Barn’s 7^th annual Art Demonstration Day features creating with natural materials

The 7^th annual art and craft demonstration day at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown will feature artisans who work with natural materials.  This year’s event is scheduled from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 13, 2013 and is free to the public.  Many of the resident artists at the Dahmen Barn incorporate natural materials in their work and visiting artists from the region will fill the Barn and the yard behind the wheel fence.  All will have items they have created for sale.  A list of all participants may be found on the calendar item at www.artisanbarn.org.

Artisans at the Dahmen Barn began the annual demonstration event the spring of 2007, a few months after its grand opening, to bring together many local artists who work with the same materials.  Each year has had a different theme:  fiber, wood, glass, clay, paper, recycled materials.  Participating artists demonstrate their own technique or approach to using those materials and the public is invited to observe and learn. Since creativity is the emphasis at the Barn, it is hoped attendees will choose to explore a medium in more depth after watching the artists at work.

 

Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is a non-profit creativity center on highway 195 in Uniontown in the big white barn behind the famous iron wheel fence.  The facility is fully handicap accessible and has no daily admission fee.  It is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.  Information:  www.artisanbarn.org or 509-229-3414.
