ABOUT OUR 🧑‍🎨 ARTIST

Ah Ram Kim and her husband came to Moosomin (and Canada) about a year and a half ago. She chose cooking as her self-expression when she first came to Moosomin but has since returned to more traditional art forms. Ah Ram majored in fine arts in Korea and has worked as a professional artist, participating in a variety of exhibitions.

Ah Ram can also teach traditional Asian ink painting, Korean-style colour painting (jinchaehwa), and media-based works that incorporate photography or video. She believes that sincere creative energy - whether from a child, farmer, homemaker, or elder - comes through clearly on paper or canvas and she can’t wait to work with you!

All supplies are included in the cost of the class.

Please Note:

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Apparently, I have been making art messes since I was 3 years old. Although I learned my art mediums mostly by trial and error, I did achieve some formal training: Diploma in Graphic Design, 1 year Fashion Design and a Certificate in Interior Decorating. As well, I have attended many Art workshops.

I have tried many, many, forms of art through the years, but I always come back to Acrylic & Watercolor. I have been instructing these mediums for over 25 yrs and Stained Glass for about 15.

It's my passion, to see others become passionate about creating! I own a studio at Rocanville where I offer private Art lessons and Paint Parties and some retail art supplies. When I get a minute or two, I even create my own art. I am thrilled to be a part of MVAC and for the opportunity to share my experience with others.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Apparently, I have been making art messes since I was 3 years old. Although I learned my art mediums mostly by trial and error, I did achieve some formal training: Diploma in Graphic Design, 1 year Fashion Design and a Certificate in Interior Decorating. As well, I have attended many Art workshops.

I have tried many, many, forms of art through the years, but I always come back to Acrylic & Watercolor. I have been instructing these mediums for over 25 yrs and Stained Glass for about 15.

It's my passion, to see others become passionate about creating! I own a studio at Rocanville where I offer private Art lessons and Paint Parties and some retail art supplies. When I get a minute or two, I even create my own art. I am thrilled to be a part of MVAC and for the opportunity to share my experience with others.

About the Artist:

I consider myself a versatile creative. I am passionate about a number of creative outlets that include photography, quilting, crocheting, painting, just to name a few. I have an entire disaster of a room dedicated to art supplies. I recently took a "Paint Your Pet" class with Tinted and Minted and fell in love with the monopalette style of painting. I became a certified instructor to be able to help others fall in love with it too.

In our first class we will be hand building a charcuterie board and dipping bowl from a clay slab. Jacqui has lots of patterns, items for textures and picture samples, but she also encourages you to bring your own ideas, textures etc. No experience is necessary for this class. We will then build a small dipping bowl to accompany the charcuterie board.

Our second class on October 7th is to glaze the pieces once they are dry. Charcuterie boards take quite a bit longer to dry than other forms because the slabs are heavier and thicker and can’t be rushed. I’m excited to see your creations!

Participants must be 18 years of age or older for this class.

Participants must be able to navigate stairs as our clay studio is in the basement.

Supplies are provided.

Registration for this class closes midnight September 1st!

A WORD FROM OUR ARTIST:

I hope to create more awareness of my music. The world and in particular the human race is at a crossroads. Music can help ease some of our stress and hostility. Each Crystal Journey concert is aimed at providing the audience with a safe and relaxing environment. Each of my performances are completely improvised and unique.

ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS AND SOUNDS TO WHICH YOU WILL BE EXPOSED:

Paiste Gongs:

Planet Gongs are tuned to the natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Planets. All of these gongs resonate in harmony with the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the Music of the Spheres, which was first documented by Pythagoras in the 6th Century BC. Each planet gong contributes a vital pitch to the total harmonic resonance of our solar system.

Crystal Bowls:

The bowls are made of 99.992% crushed quartz crystal that is heated to 4000 degrees in a centrifugal mold. The thickness of the bowl determines the note, digitally tuned to C D E F G A and B corresponding to the charkas, our energy centers; root (C), sacral (D), solar plexus (E), heart (F), throat (G), third eye (A), and crown (B) The diameter of the bowl determines the pitch, ranging from 6 inches to 22 inches.

Persian Santoor:

Persian Santoor consists of a trapeziform case made of walnut wood, approximately 90 cm wide at the broad end, 36 cm wide at the narrow end and 6 cm deep. The strings are fixed to hitch-pins along the left-hand side and wound round metal wrest-pins on the right by means of which they are tuned with a tuning-key (Tuning Wrench). Each quadruple set of strings rests on a movable bridge of hardwood (kharak). The bridges are placed so that the strings are divided into three sections, giving the fundamental note and two higher octaves.

There are nine (or sometimes 10, 11 and 12) quadruple strings an either side so that, with 18 groups of strings, 27 different notes can be played. The bass strings are of brass or copper and the trebles of steel.

Persian Santoor is played by striking the strings with two light hammers (mezrab) held in three fingers of each hand. The ends of the sticks are usually covered with cloth to soften their impact on the strings.

Harmonica:

The harmonica, also known as a French harp or mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used worldwide in many musical genres, notably in blues, American folk music, classical music, jazz, country, and rock and roll. There are many types of harmonica, including diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, octave, orchestral, and bass versions. A harmonica is played by using the mouth (lips and tongue) to direct air into or out of one or more holes along a mouthpiece. Behind each hole is a chamber containing at least one reed. A harmonica reed is a flat elongated spring typically made of brass, stainless steel, or bronze.
