SUMMARY:Gallery Walk with Larry Ricci\, Woodwork Artist at Lucy Clark Gallery & Studio
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with woodworking artist Larry Ricci during the Gallery Walk in July. \nOne of the greatest gifts Larry ever received was when his dad put tools in his hands when he was a kid. He was later inspired by the sculptural furniture of artist George Nakashima and visited the Nakashima studio often in the years that followed. After a 40+ year career in education\, he began working mostly with local\, highly figured hardwoods and burls to create unique pieces of art that maintain the organic beauty of the wood. The wood\, with its shape\, figure\, imperfections and voids\, is what draws his attention and curiosity. Sometimes the imperfections are what creates the greatest interest in studying the piece. Larry always attempts to balance form and function\, but sometimes one of those wins out. \nFavorites Count: 0

SUMMARY:Zahner Conservation Lecture Series at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Wall: What we know–and don’t know–about southern Appalachia’s enigmatic weather-making landform\n\nFeatured Speaker\nPhilip S. Prince\, Ph.D.\, Project Geologist\, Appalachian Landslide Consultants\, PLLC\, Virginia Tech Department of Geosciences \nHighlands owes its natural beauty to its location atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment\, the steep\, 1\,500-3\,000 foot topographic step defining the southeastern edge of Appalachian Mountain topography from northeastern Georgia to Roanoke\, Virginia. Along its entire length\, the Escarpment separates river systems\, controls weather\, and presents a significant obstacle to entry into the mountains from Piedmont cities like Greenville and Charlotte. Despite its massive geographic extent and ecological and societal significance in southern Appalachia\, surprisingly little is known about the origins of the Escarpment and which chapter of Appalachian Mountain development its existence represents. Notable as the only major Appalachian landform that is not a direct result of bedrock outcrop patterns\, geologists have long sought to understand why the Escarpment is even here in the first place. This talk will discuss both the Escarpment’s well-known functions as a river divide and weather-maker and the questions surrounding its formation\, history\, and overall relationship to the rest of the modern-day southern Appalachian Mountains. \nSponsored by Suzanne & Don Duggan\, Ruthie & Franko Oliver\, Margaret Waters\, Adele & Nick Scielzo\, and Florence & Tom Holmes \n\nFavorites Count: 0

SUMMARY:Zahner Conservation Lecture Series at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Story: Red-cockaded Woodpeckers\, Conservation\, and the Science Inside the Nest\n\nFeatured Speaker\nLauren D. Pharr\, Ph.D.\, Postgraduate Researcher\, North Carolina State University \nThe red-cockaded woodpecker once faced a severe decline as longleaf pine forests disappeared across the southeastern United States. Today it is one of the most recognized examples of successful species recovery. In this talk\, avian behavioral ecologist Dr. Lauren Pharr shares the “w(hole) story” of this remarkable bird—from the history of its conservation to the science happening inside its nest cavities. Drawing from her research on partial brood loss\, Dr. Pharr explores how these cooperative birds live in family groups and how factors such as group size and environmental conditions shape chick survival\, offering new insights into life inside the nest. \nSponsored by Jennie Stowers \n\nFavorites Count: 0

SUMMARY:Encounters with Creatives with Jeff Ripple\, Original Oil Artist at The Lucy Clark Gallery & Studio
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Ripple will be on hand to share his methods in original oil painting and more. \nJeff is dedicated to a poetic realism in landscape painting inspired by intriguing compositions and fleeting moments of emotive light in nature. His style involves carefully planned drawings\, a reliance on sketches and studies painted in nature to inspire studio work\, and a focus on luminous atmosphere. Evidence of a human presence is often absent or subordinated in his landscapes. He sketches and paints regularly outdoors to create field studies that often focus on skies\, light on the landscape\, water\, trees\, rocks or really anything that interests him\, refining those ideas in the studio with a focus on atmosphere and achieving depth. \n  \n(FREE) \nFavorites Count: 0
