Arts & Crafts

The Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts will be open on occasional Saturdays through the new season. Save the date for the first Saturday opening on October 27 when we will be opening our new Fantastique exhibition and enjoying Halloween revels at WMODA. Fantastique celebrates the enchanted world of ceramic art. From myths and monsters to fairies and fables, you will be spellbound by the flights of fancy of European ceramic artists during the last two centuries.

Ardmore is a thriving artist community creating unique ceramics in the Natal Midlands of South Africa. The studio was founded by Fée Halsted in 1985 when she moved to a remote farm and began teaching local people how to model and paint pottery. Originally Fée worked with Bonnie Ntshalintshali, the daughter of the farm’s housekeeper, and they quickly developed a creative synergy. Their collaboration drew national attention when they won the prestigious Standard Bank Young Artist award in 1990.

The Venetian Arts Society’s Diamond Circle and WMODA cordially invite you to CAFÉ SOCIETY hosted at WMODA on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 from 6-9 pm. Venetian Arts Cafe Society will present Jose Negroni, piano/composer and three-time Grammy nominee and his newest protégé Miss Elli Clarke, vocalist, in the spectacular setting of the Chihuly Gallery at WMODA.

Fantastique celebrates the enchanted world of ceramic art. From myths and monsters to fairies and fables, you will be spellbound by the flights of fancy of European ceramic artists during the last two centuries. Fire-breathing dragons of the Dark Ages do battle with heroic knights or guard the treasures of the Eastern seas. Mermaids and other wonders of the deep beguile mariners while pixies, goblins and other denizens of Fairyland enchant children and adults alike.
