August, 2015

American art and history buffs and their neighbors in Canada with a passion for mixing home renovations with art and interior design might want to cast a glance toward Parrsboro Creative this fall.  The Nova Scotia arts and culture group is pleased to announce that renowned international decorative artist Lori Le Mare will be instructing a highly-anticipated Master Class in the oceanfront town of Parrsboro beginning September 30.

The Master Class is called “Contemporary and Heritage Restoration Techniques in Wood Graining and Marbling.”  It begins September 30 and runs until Sunday, October 4 at a cost of $330 (US) plus $150 for materials and specialty tools.

Le Mare is the first of Parrsboro Creative’s true, Master Level instructors to introduce a high level of training and expertise to an Eastern North American audience at Parrsboro’s Art Lab Studios and Gallery.

Lori Le Mare’s original work and restoration artistry has been featured in programs including Cityline (CityTV), The Painted House (Debbie Travis) and This Small Space as well as Homestyle, Craftscapes, CNN, CBC, House & Home, The Toronto Star, The Globe & Mail and The Financial Post.

Parrsboro Creative Chair Michael Fuller and his partners at Art Lab are expecting a sell-out crowd for the five days of Le Mare’s classes. Space is limited to 14 students.

“Lori is definitely well-known across the USA, Canada and internationally,” says Fuller.  “She specializes in restoration painting and artistic rehabilitation of historic sites, including decorative painting restoration, wood graining, marbling, painted ornament, gilding and murals. Preparation and protection of finishes will be taught along with an overview of the history of decorative painting.”

“We’re extremely excited to have such a world-class artist offering this rare opportunity in Nova Scotia,” says Art Lab Collaborator Krista Wells.   “This is a great opportunity not only for artists, but for designers and restoration specialists to further develop their skills.“  

“I’m happy to be experiencing the Parrsboro creativity vibe,” says Le Mare. “I know that the town has a special draw for creative people and I’m looking forward to helping my students advance their skills.  This will be a very interactive series of classes.”

Parrsboro Creative is a volunteer-driven group that aims to make Parrsboro Nova Scotia’s “go-to source” for all creative and visual artists by attracting new artists and creating a critical mass of “all things art” in the town and surrounding coastal area.
