A busy month
Ar of July
July is promising to be a
very busy month at the
Goderich CoOp Gallery.
We open the month, on
July 1 with the return of
Mandala artist Deb Elligson,
of Brodhagen, and her beau-
tiful Mandala designs.
Deb's Mandalas are her
own unique creations, fol-
lowing ancient Celtic tradi-
tions, but with her inspired
sense of colour and design
from years of work as an
Interior Decorator.
Celtic knot designs are an
ancient form of expression,
and while there are specific
methodologies handed
down through the centuries,
each Mandala designer
brings an individual per-
spective, developed through
colour, shape, placement of
knots, spacing, and geomet-
ric patterns.
These designs follow
those, which the ancient
Celts found in nature, and
this natural beauty still
guides the modern artists.
Visitors will be able to see
Deb Elligson's new work on
Saturday July 1, however,
because of the holiday cele-
brations we will have our
"official" welcome for her on
Saturday July 8.
For the Canada Day cele-
brations on July 1, the CoOp
Gallery will be joining in the
festivities on the Square with
150 Canada Day cupcakes to
be given away, plus an out-
door children's art area
using sidewalk chalk.
Throughout the month of
July the CoOp Gallery will be
hosting four evenings of
sketching with professional
Art Instructor Devon
McCallum.
Devon will meet interested
participants at the CoOp Gal-
lery on July 6, 13, 20, and 27
between 6:15-6:30 pm.
Anyone interested in
learning to sketch from life is
welcome to join, there is no
requirement that you
already know how to draw,

month of July.
or that you are an accom-
plished artist, this is for any-
one interested in either
learning the «how to's», or
refining techniques.
There will be four topics of
instruction:
-sketching downtown
architecture from the park,
-exploring different draw-
ing tools, and papers, while
creating an abstract,
-learning how to depict
the depth of water from the
Menesetung Bridge,
-A Plein Aire session at
Point Farms Provincial Park.
The exploration of differ-
ent drawing media and
papers will be held inside
the CoOp Gallery, so in the
case of rain, the topic dates
may be switched to accom-
modate weather conditions.
Just remember, EVERY-
ONE is welcome, no matter
your level of expertise, just
join in and experience the
joy of creating art among
other participants in our
beautiful natural settings.
For those interested,
please meet at the CoOp
Gallery, 54 Courthouse
Square on the designated
evenings at 6:15, from there
you will move on to that
evening's location.
Participants should bring
their own materials: pencils,
pens, paper, eraser, a chair if
desired, warm clothing, bug
spray, hat, water, whatever
you think would make you
comfy during a couple of
hours of outdoor sketching.
For the journey to the
bridge, and Point Farms,
there will be car pools
arranged. There is a fee for
Point Farms entry, and a vol-
untary donation for the
instructor.
