Happy World Baking Day! 🍞 Bready or not, here we crumb! 🤦

This week at the MAC, we're keeping the ovens (or kilns) going with our weekly pottery sessions, and you'll be "whisking you were here" because this is the final week to stop by the gallery and soak in the fruits of Molly Hogan's labor with her photography exhibit "Look". Muffin compares to it! 🤣

We know we all knead a break, so the yeast we can do is give everyone a laugh. 😎

This week at the MAC, we're still soaking in the amazing work of Molly Hogan and keeping those good vibes going with several weekly open pottery studio sessions throughout the week. We're also getting ready for our next show from photographer Steve Hill, coming in June.

Lots to soak in, so we hope you stop by!

Our resident art reviewer Douglas Chess says Molly Hogan's show is not to be missed!

"If you are a fan of nature photos then the works of Molly Hogan is right up your alley. The photos get you up close to a dew covered spider web or a close up a turtle (who could use a dermatologist) or perhaps a blue bird. I was particularly impressed with a photo of a white fence with a white bike leaning against it. Because the fence and the bike are both white the image at first is confusing which makes the photo intriguing.

In viewing it, it became less important what I was looking at instead I was seeing the unique patterns that was created. Patterns seem to be a big part of her aesthetic; rippling sands on a beach at low tide, and the lacey networks of tree branches against a white sky. Ms. Hogan's work is highly skilled and cryetalin. Kudos to the Artist."
