4500 N RAVENSWOOD
RAW VENUE #24A Ravenswood factory for more than 35 years, Gabel and Schubert, Inc. will once again host a variety of local makers. Peek inside to see mixed media works by Joan Game, paintings by Barb Kirpluk, mixed media work by Lilly Torres, and ceramic objects and vessels by Nathan Mason.

Joan Game – Mixed Media
Joan returns this year with her Farmers Market filled with “produce, baked goods, woodland animals” and more …all made with felt. In addition, note cards made from her original artwork will be available. Joan creates two and three-dimensional, colorful, joyful, and whimsical work, using a variety of traditional materials like watercolors, and experiments with fabric, paper, wire, and more.

Barb Kirpluk – Painter
For my fourth year at RAW, I have put down my digital stylus in favor of oils, acrylic, and gouache. Studying the plein air works of James Gurney has renewed my interest in painting with these natural mediums. My subjects include landscapes, still life, wildlife, and birds.

Lilly Torres – Mixed Media
I will will have an array of works that explore patterns and color on canvas, wood, and acrylic pieces.

Nathan Mason – Ceramics
Ceramic objects and vessels that mix enigma and function, incorporating marks of the maker’s hand in their final finish.
