With Heather\u2019s retirement from teaching, the current volunteer teachers, Genevieve Davies, Ali Walker and Lorraine Lintern have been inspiring and encouraging students to exhibit their work. In particular, some very creative teapots have been seen coming out of the kiln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 8 years this studio and the teachers have made a huge contribution to the arts and fuelled the creative juices of many people who have come through the door. This is an opportunity for the community to see what has been going on in this wonderful creative space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition will continue through to early February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would like to thank our members\/artists for supporting the Gallery and being involved in helping raise some always needed funds for Blue Knob Hall Gallery, Caf\u00e9 &amp; Ceramic Studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;The Artist\u2019s\u00a0Choice\u2019 members exhibition is freed from the constraints of a theme and allows for a wider variety of work from local artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,14],"class_list":["post-226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions","tag-15","tag-14"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1655,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions\/1655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
