SUMMARY:PAINT CREATIVELY WITH PHOTOGRAPHS
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Souby Boski \nDate: Saturday December 3\, 2022 \nTime: 12:30PM – 4:30PM \nMost artists use source photos in some capacity when they work\, whether to jog their memory of a particular place and time or to record specific visual details to incorporate in later pieces. In this workshop students will learn to paint in a creative\, personal\, and expressive way using reference photographs – freeing them from copying. Learn to dismiss the sense of obligation to show exactly what is depicted in the photo and feel free and inspired to manipulate the composition\, assuring vitality and making the painting your personal creation. Bring several canvases and reference photos. A suggested materials list will be provided upon registration. \nRegister: https://fivepointsarts.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/fivepointsarts/event.jsp?event=468& \n  \n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Matin Malikazada - Five Points Annex
DESCRIPTION:Five Points Annex Gallery presents Matin Malikzada Pottery!\nThis show will be up from December 9 to 18\, 2022\nOpen hours are Saturdays 12-4 PM and by appointment.\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n MALIKZADA POTTERY\n\n\nMalikzada Pottery is informed and inspired by the ancient techniques handed down through the centuries and now expertly and lovingly realized by seventh-generation Afghan master potter\, Matin Malikzada\, a humanitarian refugee recently resettled in the US.  This work is functional as well as decorative\, simple yet elegant\, and glazed in hues that reflect the earth’s rich\, natural palette.  Each piece\, hand-crafted and signed by the artist (washing by hand recommended)\, is food and water safe.\nMatin Malikzada is internationally recognized for his technical skill and elegant designs. A native of Istalif\, Afghanistan\, once a vibrant center of ceramic art and commerce\, Matin was forced to flee Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover. Along with his family\, he is now resettled in Northwest Connecticut where he continues his journey as an artist.\n\nIn Kabul\, Matin served as head of the Ceramics department at the Turquoise Mountain Institute\, an NGO founded by King Charles III\, where in his youth he studied and honed the skills inherited from his father. Upon graduating\, he was hired as a Master of Ceramics\, and ultimately rose to lead the department.Matin revitalized a nearly lost art of symmetrical design and turquoise glaze derived from natural pigments unique to Istalifi pottery and has trained over one hundred artisans in these ancient techniques.\nIn addition to holding a bachelor’s degree in Law from Tabesh University in Kabul\, he has earned Certificates in Design and Crafts from the City and Guilds Institute of London\, been a visiting artist at the Institute of Ceramic Studies at Shigaraki\, Japan\, and authored books on Istalifi Pottery.\nAs a practicing artist for nearly twenty years\, Matin has exhibited his work and demonstrated his skill to heads of state\, dignitaries\, artists\, educators\, as well as museum- and gallery-goers around the world.
