Baubles, bangles and beads

LIBERTY, NY — The Catskill Artists Gallery at 38 South Main Street will hold a show, “Glitter and Glass,” from Saturday, August 25 through Sunday, October 7. Featuring the works of Cate Gundlah, Kathy Jeffers and Buff McAllister, the show will feature jewelry, beads, household items and ornamental pieces fashioned from glass, ceramic, wood, bone and metals. There will be an opening reception with refreshments on August 25 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Gundlah specializes in rich colorful glass, used in handmade beads for necklaces and earrings, and in fused glass bowls, plates and other items both practical and ornamental. Jeffers works porcelain clay into decorative pins, earrings and necklaces with her signature whimsical designs; she also turns silver clay into delicate pendants of organic forms, sometimes embellished with semi-precious gemstones. McAllister juxtaposes disparate elements in her necklaces, using semi-precious stones, polymer clay, glass, wood, bone and various metals, particularly enjoying the ethnic look achieved by the asymmetrical placing of bold, earthy elements. Some 30 other artists are also represented in the spacious gallery in downtown Liberty.

The gallery is open Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m.
