The Bow Tides is a powerhouse Celtic ensemble led by three Irish fiddlers: Ellery Klein, Jessie Burns, and Katie Grennan. These dynamic women are veterans of the stage and studio, with a collective 15 years as the fiddlers with the Irish-American supergroup Gaelic Storm.

Grammy-nominated bassist Eric Thorin and guitarist Jeff Lindblade were enlisted to hold down the low end, and the ideas started flowing- and they haven’t stopped. Drawing from decades of playing traditional Irish fiddle, bonded by their love of composition and rich harmonic arrangements, and a deeply creative, calling, the five sets to work. The Bow Tides was born – an unexpected silver lining, and they haven’t looked back since.

Join us for an opening reception to kick off JOYSOME an exhibition in collaboration with East Window.  JOYSOME consists of fifty images selected from hundreds of responses to a call for work on the theme of joy. Submitted by artists and non-artists alike, the works in this exhibit span a range of disciplines and affective registers associated with joy— Ecstasy, Transcendence, Sadness, The Fear of Joy, Anger, Mania, Euphoria, Toxic Positivity, The American Dream, The Pursuit of Happiness, Masochism, Selflessness, Success, Sacrifice, Divination, Cuteness, The Sublime, Altruism, and Peace. The selected images are printed on flags and exhibited throughout the Front Range as part of the Month of Photography Festival.

In conjunction with the Fan Mail 2.0 exhibition, this workshop will be a hands-on activity of making art and connecting with others. Participants will carve soft linoleum blocks with an image or symbol of their choice, or something inspired by the exhibition. There will be an option to collaborate on the carving, either in the design phase or swapping blocks part way through the carving process.

Following, we will ink up and print the blocks onto Postcard-sized paper. Participants will make multiple prints, and be encouraged to collaborate during the printing process as well, adding layers and additional elements from each other’s blocks.

Last, we will exchange prints with one another, leaving the workshop with a handful of collaborative and inspiring postcard-sized prints.

We will learn how to carve, ink, and make a series of quality linoleum block prints. Instruction will focus on a fun and playful approach to making art, engage with the materials, embrace ‘happy accidents’, and celebrate whimsical outcomes.
