Colourful Rugs and Wood Shavings

Have a look at this masterful rug created by Red Spruce!  It's an extraordinary feat of  design and craftmanship, and an excellent example of local artistic collaboration. Designed by Nick Brunt, coloured, dyed, graphed and finished by Michael Christie and hand hooked by Janet Delo - This five by nine foot rug is simply jaw dropping. 

    

And look who we have here... It's Barry Colpitts! 

Carving a rabbit in our front window to the delight of his fans and folk art collectors!

Mary Garoutte - wearable artwork

We're still all aflutter over the recent work of Mary Garoutte, especially after having 

seen her paint on site at the gallery this past Thrusday. 

She's such a natural with watercolours, and her finished hand painted 

jewellery really makes your heart stop!

These are just a sample of what Mary has on display at the gallery. Swing by to view the entire collection, or let us know if you would like to order custom jewellery - Mary is open to all kinds of commission projects!

Is This Where You Live?

Kyla Francis has been crafting her fancy halifax street scene glasses for a while now, and it's high time we got these gems on our blog and website for all to see. 

Look familiar? These beauties are true Haligonian homes and landmarks, hand printed as decals and 

applied to dishwasher safe glassware. 

That's right kids, they're dishwater safe! 

*applause* 

Aaaand, they're only $20 each. Truly the perfect gift for anyone who loves our fair city. 

Stop in soon if you want to pick up a few... they tend to disappear quickly. 

We'll be here waiting for you at

Barry Colpitts Saturday, April 9th

This Saturday, April 9th, is the day that Barry Colpitts returns to Argyle Fine Art for a special carving demonstration.  To lead into this exciting demonstration,  Barry stopped by the gallery to meet with Breakfast Television for an interview, and brought along a new flock of friendly carvings.  

Tomorrow, Barry will be working away on a large rabbit in our front window from 1-3:30, and may even bring a few more folk carvings for us to enjoy.  Stop by and watch him skilfully carve away at a block of wood with homemade tools in death defying techniques that will make you wince (we're shocked that he still has all ten digits...)
