First Friday
Compiled by Sun-Gazette Staff Eagle Rock Winery Victoria Thompson-Hess will be the featured artist at Eagle Rock Winery for the month of July. The show will begin with an artist’s reception at 6 p.m. Friday. Thompson-Hess is a multi-media artist whose painting, drawings, mosaic wall-hangings and vessels have been exhibited at a variety of galleries including Faustina, Garret, Maple Run, Gmeiner, Mercyhurst College, and the former Gallery-on-the-Greene in Eagles Mere. In addition to coast-to-coast locations in the United States, Thompson-Hess’ one-of-a-kind tile mosaics, ceramic beads and vessels can be found in collectors’ homes in France, Germany, Australia and Japan. Plates, beads and bowls are just a few of the pieces she forms completely by hand, and each is completely original. Her Victoria ’s vessels are formed by using either the drape-ware process or by hand-building and allowed to dry slowly.
