\u00a0(Honesdale, March 1, 2017) Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival, the region\u2019s premier free music and arts event, is proud to announce that this year\u2019s featured visual artist is Ellen Silberlicht. A no-charge workshop hosted by Ellen will take place on Tuesday, June 13th<\/sup> at The Cooperage, 1030 Main Street, Honesdale, at 7pm. Ellen, who creates both sophisticated and whimsical pieces in clay and felted fiber, will demonstrate the science of making clay whistles. She hopes some attendees will volunteer to make them with her!<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to be a part of Roots and Rhythm,\u201d says Ellen, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe this event is marking its 12th<\/sup> year. I started out as an exhibitor on Artist Row the first three years of the festival.\u201d<\/p>\n

After receiving her Bachelor\u2019s in Fine Art from The Rochester Institute of Technology, Ellen went on to acquire a Masters in Ceramic Arts and Art Certification from Marywood University. She shared her love and knowledge of pottery and art in general with her students in the Wayne Highlands School District for 15 years. Though retired now from teaching, Ellen continues to produce art and display her work in galleries around the country, including, most recently, her show \u201cFiber on Fire\u201d at the Delaware Arts Center\u2019s Alliance Gallery in\u00a0Narrowsburg.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0“<\/span>As an artist, clay has always been my go-to medium,\u201d Ellen admits, \u201calthough I always love the discovery and creativity in finding new materials to work with. Being an artist makes life-long learning certainly a joy. The arts bring strength to our lives and allow us to share our different viewpoints, feeling and visions. My artwork reflects my soul, my being. I try to live life with humor\u2014 it helps to soften the hard spots.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Everyone is invited to the workshop, which will also offer refreshments from Camp Umpy\u2019s in Honesdale.<\/p>\n

Honesdale Roots & Rhythm, launched in 2006, is a family-friendly event with music, arts, games and \u201csurprises\u201d such as last year\u2019s flash mob.\u00a0 The event is produced by an all-volunteer staff and supported by donations and sponsors.
