28 | OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2020 | Woodchucks Groundhog Day is not just a Punxsutawney thing, for the real event is the annual gathering of the Woodchucks of Oceanside. We come out of our burrows and see our shadows that reflect the joy of working wood. At our gathering, the members, all 128 strong, enjoyed the yearly Orientation that reminds us how to safely use the shop and work together to create our wooden treasures. Our numerous goals may vary. Some members make toys for the kids of Camp Pendleton. Others enjoy building projects for the community. Still more work on homegrown bucket lists. What unites us is the fun and fellowship our little shop brings to OHCC. Each month we strive to mention Woodchucks that give the gift of service to all of us. Patricia Levine has for years created our artistic annual membership badges. Thanks to Pat, they really are special! Pictured, is our VP Larry See, who is building two furniture-grade bulletin boards. We are proud of his work that will soon be part of the new, renovated Clubhouse. Have a safe and dust-free month! Art Lovers What's on your walls? Is it art? Paintings? Drawings? Photography? Art is more than what graces walls and tables, "Edges Frayed" at the Cannon Art Gallery brings new insight into art. This exhibition brings together three regional artists: Bhavna Mehta, Michelle Montjoy and Irma Sofia Poeter, in a material - rich conversation about construction and connection. You will see fine stitching and cutting, fraying fabrics and abstract shapes, text, color, texture, volume, and shadows that tell life stories. Join us on Thurs., March 26, at 10:15 am at the Overflow Lot to carpool to the Cannon Gallery at the Dove Library in Carlsbad, 1775 Dove Lane, and the Lux Art Institute, 1550 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas. At 11 am multi- disciplinary artists, Mehta and Montjoy will guide us through the art works discussing their materials, handiwork and socially engaged art. At 12:15 pm enjoy lunch at one of restaurants in the adjacent shopping center, Beach Plum Kitchen, Tin Leaf Kitchen, Black Rail Kitchen or Notorious Burgers. At 1:30 pm we leave for an optional tour at the Lux Art Institute to view more fabric installations by Montjoy at the Brandes Gallery in the Education Pavilion. Called "Borrow Pit" this exhibition is made mostly from used clothing transforming it into a soft, playful, and interactive space. The knotted and tied textile pieces consider the tenuous connection of the habitats we wear on our backs and those of the natural world which will be discussed by textile artist, Michelle Montjoy. Others may wish to visit Artists in Residence, Kahn and Selesnick at the Artist Pavilion of the Lux. Admission is $5.
