December 10: Second Saturday Art Receptions

Art on the Trax will present “Seeking Rhythm” by Patrick Gibson during the month of December, with a Second Saturday Artist Reception on Saturday, December 10 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Charlottesville-based artist Patrick Gibson creates contemporary functional ceramics. He believes that the use of thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted vessels can enhance our everyday lives and elevate our daily rituals. His work favors soft lines and utilizes surface design that promotes spontaneity over more laborious or planned techniques. Through the careful application of glaze, he strives to impart an ethereal buoyancy and calming serenity to his work.

Art on the Trax is located at Creative Framing and The Art Box, 5784 Three Notch’d Road in.

Across the street, Crozet Artisan Depot is featuring the delicious foods of Homegrown Virginia during December.  Ivy resident Allie Hill, founder of Homegrown Virginia, will be at the opening reception on Saturday, December 10th from 2 to 5 p.m. in the historic Crozet train depot.

At the reception, Allie will be offering samples of a variety of foods created from local farm produce, including jams, jellies, and sauces. Her company, Homegrown Virginia, makes small batch recipes highlighting produce picked at the peak of ripeness. Their motto is “locally grown and locally produced”.

In addition to making a wide array of specialty foods, Allie is the Project Director for the non-profit Virginia Food Works.  Food Works assists farms and food entrepreneurs as they navigate the world of making retail foods such as sauces, vinaigrettes and spreads.

All events are free and open to the public.
