A few times a year
Bier Gallery transforms into a working studio with demonstrations
by several of the Artists that their Gallery represents. Tami and
Tyler Bier are a constant at these events. Tami demonstrates clay
sculpture and her son Tyler carries on his grandfather's tradition
of making clay piggy banks. Of course Ray is always as busy as can
be tending to the customers in the shop.

An
assortment of other artists rotate yearly at these events and
demonstrate their expertise in their given fields. Elizabeth
Abeel's detailed batik techniques reveal a multi-layered process
while Stephen Kostyshyn's meticulous weaving techniques on his
mixed media baskets express a meditative patience. Emily Beynon’s
watercolor techniques add an interesting dimension to the events.
Let’s not forget Rex Benson's delightful and often wacky
demonstrations of his whimsical clay sculptures.

their hand at pottery.
The Gallery is
full of new exciting Art work.

Anna Farrell demonstrating Guitar sculpture.
Each
demonstration day is unique and there are always surprises when
old friends and families meet and find common interests with the
artists. The loose format embellished by refreshments, (not to
forget Tami's famous chocolate chip cookies) lends itself to a
relaxing day to watch artists creating their work and a wide selection of pieces to purchase.
