18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 9, 1986 Artist Don Holman inspects his lithograph "She Moves Softly," a 40 by 90 inch piece he completed in 1982. The work was inspired by his young son, who's body was used as a basis for the artwork. The lines are so cleverly blend- ed that Holman himself admits having difficulty locating them. A lithograph of this size is an im- mense undertaking and can be compared with a 30 by 40 foot painting in oils. Holman opened his show of selected prints at the Station Gallery last Sunday. It will run until September 28. Hope You're better soon -- Ashburn and Area News by Florence Ashton At the time of writing, your regular correspondent is a patient in Oshawa General Hospital. Your many friends and readers of this column wish you a very speedy recovery, Rose. Last Wednesday evening, the Ashburn Group of the Women's Mis- sionary Society met at the home of Florence Ashton. As this was our first meeting of the fall season, it was good to see such a good atten- dance. Vice-president Lois Daw con- vened the meeting in the absence of our president, Rose Heron. Muriel Fisher was in charge of the worship, which was in conjunction with our study material "The Native In- dian." A few matters of business were dealt with regarding our 110th Anniversary of our group, which we are celebrating on November 5th. We are all eagerly looking forward to this event, and many special plans are being made at this time. Catherine Humphrey was in charge of the study continuing our theme on "The Native Indian.' We reviewed the lives of five different Indians, with good group participation. Lunch was served by the hostess and everyone enjoyed a nice chat over a cup of tea. Doug and Florence Ashton visited with Lloyd and Margaret Pugh of Pickering on Saturday evening Now that the fall season is upon us, with that bit of chill in the air, there seems to be a hub of activity within our church and community, with many different functions tak- ing place. Last Sunday morning the Church School met at the Community Cen- tre grounds, instead of our regular format. It was great to have some of our new people join with us, with their children. We all enjoyed a good sing song, games and lots of hot dogs. Rev. Dorothy Bulmer conducted morning worship at Burns, and we were privileged to have Major Wm. S. Clarke of Toronto as our guest - speaker. Major Clarke is from the Christian Blind Mission, and is a Salvation Army Officer. During the service, he sang two very beautiful solos, 'Down From His Glory' and "It Took a Miracle," accompanied b his accordian. His sermon text was from St. Matthew 20:34, which. was a real inspiration to all of us. Major Clarke read the scripture readings from his Braille Bible. It was gratifying to see such a fine turn out for the commissioning ser- vice for Mr. James Tiffin, which was held at Burns Church last Sun- day evening. He has been chosen to serve as Community Youth Worker in Brooklin and the surrounding communities. Several of the chur- ches in the area participated i in the service, and have worked together to bring about this Community Youth Ministry. The Ladies Bible Class meets at the home of Joan Knight on Wednes- day evening of this week. The Community Centre Board will be holding an auction on Satur- day, September 20th at the Centre. The auction will start at 10a.m. and run until noon. The Board is spon- soring a raffle to be drawn at noon. There will also be a bake sale. Have a good week. It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and despair.

Don Holman's main area of con- 'centration is in lithography. His richly designed and highly technical prints often include printed collage elements and hand drawings. His landscape-inspired prints exploring space, light and colour are filled with beautifully defined images of lithographic processes, as well as in- cidents of printed text or written script. He does not often work in series exploring one particular idea, but instead, produces a variety of images, each one differing from the next. His works are at times dense with images, but he is also capable of producing delicate pieces which rely on colour and loose free draw- ing in uncluttered open atmospheric field for soft lyrical works, such as For Chiai No. 1. Holman is a co-founder of Open Studio, Toronto, a print workshop set up as a professional production studio in 1970. It was developed by artists for the use of artists and printmakers to create and record their ideas by means of the print. Open Studio provides facilites and services in lithography, etching and screenprinting to Canadian artists, and their facilities are availa'..2 to both experienced and beginning printmakers alike. In 1971, Holman who was living in Chicago at the time, visited the in- itial make-shift printing studio begun by Barbara Hall and Richard Sewell, and expressed an interest in joining them. With the help of a Local Initiatives Grant, he came to g My work is to be seen says exhibiting artist ~ America, Great Britain, Paris and' Open Studio and set up the lithography shop. From the begi.:- ning he has been Director of Lithography. Their aim was for quality, highly-professional print- making, and soon printmakers all over Canada became aware of the high standard of work coming out of Onen Studio. In 1973, Holman in- i. ated the studio's own publishing programme producing prints for guest artists as well as for its own staff; and by now the list of artists who are not printmakers but who have made editions in collaboration with the studio's Master Printers, is prodigious. Don Holman was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and received his B.F.A. from Kansas City Art In- stitute. He teaches lithography at Scarborough College, the Universi- ty of Toronto; and being highly for his skills, has taught : and lectured extensively at univer- sity centres throughout Canada and the United States. He has been ex- i hibiting since 1979 in North, Mexico. 4 Last winter, Holman travelled to § Cape Dorset on West Baffin Island § to lecture at a workshop for Inuit § printmakers. More than 22 Inuit ar' tists, many of whom had to travel § for more than a week, attended the [i two-week workshop at Dorset, one § of the foremost Inuit print shops.
