FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FOLDING BIRDS FOR PEACE

workshop date: September 25, 3-5pm                                                  

Mathias Fine Art is excited to announce a special workshop in connection with the current exhibition RELIEF – an exploration.      

Mona Shiber will present a workshop called FOLDING BIRDS FOR PEACE at Mathias Fine Art where Shiber will teach participants a paper folding technique - similar to Origami – to create doves and cranes. Shiber has prepared a kit consisting of different papers, which will be used for folding. The artist will also speak about her latest project PeaceBirds. Shiber a gifted ceramic artist, has a gorgeous triptych 'Movement thru Still Moments' and two one-of-a-kind hand-made books on display at the Trevett gallery. These books delight with their creative combination of Shiber’s exceptional levels in the traditional skills of book binding, paper-folding and ceramics. They are desirable art objects in themselves or they could become treasure troves of your favorite writings, quotes or thought. Based in Massachussetts, Mona Shiber has been visiting and falling in love with Maine for over a decade.
