Closing Reception for "Waterways and Woodcuts" at the Old Schwamb Mill

Description

Join Don Gorvett and the folks at The Old Schwamb Mill for the closing of Waterways and Woodcuts, a solo exhibit of woodcut prints and blocks on Saturday, November 15th, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm in Arlington, MA.

Much of Don Gorvett's work is centered on architecture and the activities along river and coastal shorelines. The remains of waterside industries from the past century serve as a tangible connection to history. “I am fascinated by the ghostly quality of these buildings looming out of the mists, endowed with strength and endurance. For me, historic architecture represents a bridge between one life span into another.”
 
Mill Hours: Tuesday and Saturday, 10am-4pm. Featuring guided workshop tours; the exhibition “Waterways and Woodcuts”, an interactive family gallery, plus custom-made, museum quality, oval and circular picture frames for purchase.

The image used for the exhibit’s poster is "Taking the Path Least Travelled", a reduction woodcut that depicts Portsmouth Harbor as seen from the riverbank on Bow St, Portsmouth, NH, in the 1990s. Today, the view from the riverbank is obscured by recent development.
