Cape Ann Ceramics Festival
Excitement is building around the Cape Ann Ceramics Festival, the first annual, multi-week pottery event designed to promote understanding and appreciation for the art of ceramics on Cape Ann.
The festival will feature collaboration with Pucker Gallery in Boston by showing the work of world renowned ceramic artists Randy Johnston, Ken Matsuzaki and Phil Rogers, as well as a number of local and regional potters. The mission of the festival is to spotlight Cape Ann ceramic artists and increase awareness of the skills and talent present in this historic, scenic area.
The festival will be held through out the month of August in various locations around Cape Ann, named one of the top 25 Small City art destinations by American Style Magazine for the second year in a row.
Events will include a three-week show at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, entitled Beauty in Use: Ceramics from Cape Ann, Pucker Gallery & Beyond. The show runs from Aug. 9 through Aug. 25 with a gala opening reception with food and music on Sunday, Aug. 11, from 4-6 pm. Don’t miss this!
On Saturday, Aug. 10, the day before the show’s grand opening, Randy Johnston will give a demonstration workshop from 10 am-5pm at Cynthia Curtis Pottery, 80 Pigeon Hill Street, Rockport. Sign up for this workshop and get other Festival info at www.capeannceramicsfestival.com
A Raku workshop – already full – will be held on Aug. 4 at the studio of Seyrel and Chris Williams in Manchester. If you are interested in learning about Raku, please leave your name on the Ceramics Festival website. If demand is great, there may be a second workshop added!
The weekend of Aug. 17, 18, you will have a chance to travel around Cape Ann to visit local potters’ studios. The Pottery Trail is from 10 am to 5 pm each day and will give you an opportunity to see where, and in some cases how, the clay treasures are made.
On the last weekend of the Festival, a two-day show of all local potters will be on the Mezzanine level of the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, 6 Wonson St., Gloucester. The gala opening of this show is Friday, Aug. 23, from 4-9 pm. Food and music will make this a festive event you must attend. Small bowls, created by the exhibiting artists, will be given away to the lucky people who arrive first.

Fiesta Movie Offerings from CACC
ITALIAN FILM, OPERA, AND LONG-LOST TV SHOW PREMIERING AT FIESTA
Cinema’s line-up for rainy week is a triple treat for Fiestagoers
While the weather for this year’s St. Peter’s Fiesta may not cooperate, the Cape Ann Community Cinema at 21 Main Street (atop the St. Peter’s Club) offers special related programming for the five days of the annual Festival.
“Reality,” the acclaimed comedy from “Gomorrah” director Matteo Garrone, is about a Neapolitan fishmonger named Luciano who supplements his modest income by pulling off little scams together with his wife Maria. A likable, entertaining guy, Luciano never misses an opportunity to perform for his customers and countless relatives. One day his family urge him to try out for the reality show “Big Brother,” and in chasing this dream his perception of reality begins to change. The film shows Wednesday the 26th through Saturday the 29th at 7:30pm, andSunday the 30th at 6:30pm.
Barry Sullivan stars as David Scott in a Fiesta-themed episode of “Harbormaster” at Cape Ann Community Cinema on Saturday, June 29th at 2:30pm.
Cinema friend Phil Hopkins of the Rockport-based film preservation outfit Film Chest has uncovered a little-seen episode of a short-lived 1950s TV series called “Harbormaster,” an adventure show which starred Barry Sullivan and Paul Burke, and will present iton Saturday the 29th at 2:30pm. In the episode, entitled “The Sawtucket Festival,” Gloucester and Rockport double as the fictional Scott Island. It was filmed Sunday morning during St. Peter’s Fiesta in 1957, with scenes shot on Washington Street, Our Lady of Good Voyage on Prospect Street, and Bradley Wharf in Rockport. Additionally, Pierce Sears, proprietor of Twin Lights Soda in Rockport, filmed nearly 20 minutes of 8mm color behind-the-scenes footage during the shoot, and will narrate the footage live.
Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi’s famous opera “Nabucco” will have one final encore on Sunday, June 30th at 1:00pm. This version was produced by London’s Royal Opera, and stars legendary tenor Plácido Domingo.
Tickets for “Reality” and “Harbormaster” are $10.00 for adults, $8.50 for students and seniors, and $7.00 for CACC Members. Tickets for “Nabucco” are $17.50 general admission, $15.00 for CACC Members.

Origami and Photography Workshops
I will be directing an origami workshop for kids at Art Haven and a digital photography workshop at The Hive this month! Here are descriptions of both. For pricing and additional details, see official websites (at the links provided).
Origami for Kids at Art Haven
Thursdays, June 27, July 4, 11, 18, 25, 3:30-5:00PM
“Origami for Kids” will introduce young artists to the world of origami. Besides learning a variety of basic fun models across a variety of themes, we will go over the essentials of origami terminology and symbols involved in reading origami diagrams, so that the children can learn to fold on their own more easily.
Digital Photography Workshop at The Hive
Tuesdays, July 2, 9, 16, 23
July 2 and 16, 4-7PM: Before going out to shoot, we will meet at Art Haven, where the instructor will explain key camera features and shooting tips and techniques, including the differences between file formats (with their relative advantages and disadvantages), how to use manual settings, basics of composition, and shooting HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. We will then go to shoot photographically interesting locations throughout Gloucester, with some suggested themes and perspectives.
July 9 and 23, 4-6PM: We will meet at The Hive to share our favorite photos from the past week and critique each other’s work. Besides providing creative feedback about the shots, the instructor will give instruction on techniques for post-processing using popular software.
Good Morning Gloucester
