Vinegar Painting Workshop by Pamela Bearor-Amiralian | Ogunquit Art Association
2025-08-12
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 12th for a “Vinegar Painting Workshop” (from 10AM-3PM) led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Pamela Bearor-Amiralian.
Suggested Workshop donation: $75 PLUS *materials fee $20.00.
Additional InformationCome join professional artist Pamela Bearor-Amiralian as she presents a workshop focused on bringing Vinegar Painting into the 21st century.
The workshop will be an exploration of the historical folk-art finish (Vinegar painting) used in the colonies during the 1700’s/1800’s. This painting method was popular during this time partly because of the shortage of paint coming from Europe. It was used primarily on furniture and wood decorating items in the home (doors and trims), and storage boxes. The technique was a way to imitate woodgrain and well as fantasy designs. The lack of resin can be an advantage, it allows the artist to play, manipulate until satisfied. Painted by a novice or serious painter, each piece shows the pleasure and joy this method offers.
Workshop objective:
In this workshop, students will begin by familiarizing themselves with the various materials used in folk-art painting, including artists’ pigments, learning how to handle, purchase, and store them properly. They’ll explore the techniques needed to achieve the distinctive folk-art finish and apply their skills by creating practice boards, building a portfolio of different styles for future reference. By the end of the course, they’ll be able to craft a finished piece on a Masonite board, incorporating all they’ve learned. Throughout the process, there will be opportunities to discuss their creative exploration and problem-solving. Additionally, they’ll master the use of shellac — learning that while most materials can be cleaned with water, shellac requires ammonia, which is reused in a dedicated container before a final water rinse. This hands-on experience will equip them with both the knowledge and confidence to continue their artistic journey.
All skill levels are welcome.

About The Workshop Instructor: Pamela Bearor-AmiralianCome join professional artist + educator Pamela Bearor-Amiralian as she presents a Vinegar Painting workshop at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine.
Pam’s career has spanned a variety of mediums, designs, and creative concepts. ​She has created contemporary and eclectic interior designs ranging from elegant condominiums at The Intercontinental Residences Boston to community-focused work for the Essex Art Center and Our House Lawrence.​
​Pam received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art with post-graduate work at RISD, New Hampshire Institute of Art, and Kendall Center for the Arts. She works out of her studio in North Andover, Massachusetts.
Artist’s Statement
My background in design helps to inform all of my work. The principles of design (balance, unity, harmony, contrast, emphasis, scale, and rhythm) and elements of design (point, line, plane, texture, and color) combine together to give my art substance.
My canvases and panels blend contemporary design with vinegar paint, a late 18th century, American technique of combining artists’ pigments and apple cider vinegar with dish soap or sugar. I discovered this form of painting when studying decorative finishes, and it took hold of my imagination.
Vinegar paint provides a phenomenal degree of detail and precision. Intricate, sharp lines and patterns pop from the pigment, creating the optical illusion of depth. These patterns maintain a curious originality that is deepened by texture and the illusions of movement through out my art. These thoughtful juxtapositions work symbiotically to create a peaceful complexity. I pull from the macro view of the cosmos to the microbiology imagery in nature.
My work almost always starts from the smallest element to the largest. I’m passionate about the way this process allows the work to unfold as a meditation; shapes first emerge from a colored pencil sketch then continue to evolve through this exploratory paint process. As the vinegar dries the only thing left on the panels is the pigment. There is no suspension matter to interfere with the pigment. There is nothing between the viewer, the textures and the colors. The final works, with their intricate detail, organic or geometric shapes, and rich tones, recall life’s impressions, experiences, and relationships. My most recent panels have been a conscious connectedness to the spiritual process of meditation and the creation of art.

Barn Gallery Talk: David Schneider (sculptor) - 50th Anniversary Ogunqit Art Association Showcase Artist
2025-08-14
Join us at Barn Gallery on Thursday, August 14th (at 6 PM) for a Barn Gallery Talk by our 50th Anniversary Showcase Artist: David Schneider (sculptor).
Meet the artist, see his work, learn about his process, and ask questions.
These insightful and inspiring Gallery Talks always provide further insight into our exhibitions and give attendees the chance to hear stories + learn tips and tricks from present day juried artist-members of the Ogunquit Art Association, Maine’s Original Artists’ Group (est. 1928).
This is a FREE event and it is open to the public.
About David Schneider – SculptorThe title of my 5oth Annniversary Ogunquit Art Association Showcase at Barn Gallery is ‘David Schneider: Introspective Into A Life In Art.” My showcase exhibition highlights 31 art works in clay, bronze and digital collages – re-imaginings- that celebrate my life as an artist. Most of the pieces are from my personal collection of cherished works.
The majority of art pieces in the exhibition are of fired clay and have been done over the last forty years that I have worked as a successful artist and art professor. Considering the concept of an ‘Introspective” ( Intentionally Not a retrospective,) I looked back with wonder at the serendipitous occurrences that have had lasting affects on my life. I assembled a ‘memory/experience case’ for this exhibition that contains old photos, small gifts from friends and mementos that reflect my appreciation of my life’s journey. Recently, enamored by new digital and technical processes I have also been working in digital collages that combine two dimensional images and three dimensional forms.

Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop by Jane Petschek | Ogunquit Art Association
2025-08-19
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 19th (from 10 AM – 4 PM) for a Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Jane Petschek.
Suggested Workshop donation: $75
Additional InformationCome join professional artist Jane Petschek for her Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop.
Monotypes are a kind of print that is “pulled” from a painting or drawing made on an inked metal or Plexiglas plate. Direct trace monotypes are a fun and easy way to create a unique print that has beautiful line quality similar to a soft-ground etching or charcoal drawing, and without a printing press. Your source material can be a drawing, sketch, photograph or your imagination. This process is extremely flexible and works well for those who prefer to work abstractly, spontaneously, and for those who prefer to use a reference drawing or photo.
Briefly, a direct-trace monotype is made by first rolling a thin layer of printmaking ink onto a plexiglass surface. Then, a sheet of mulberry printmaking paper is draped over the inked plexiglass. Your sketch or drawing can be layered on top of that as a guide, if you wish, and then you can “trace” your image with a pen or pencil. Or, you can draw/make marks/work abstractly or spontaneously by drawing directly on the back of the printmaking sheet. Wherever pressure is applied, ink will be transferred to the printmaking paper. Depending upon how pressure is applied, lines may appear thick or thin and areas of tone can be
developed by rubbing the back of the paper. It is easy to check the progress of your print by gently lifting the paper to observe your marks. Depending on time, we may be able to explore printing with colored inks, and/or creating “ghost prints” – transferring the negative image left on the inked plexiglass onto a mulberry sheet by hand burnishing. It should be possible for each student to make several prints
NOTE: One of the prints Jane Petschek will be showing in OAA Expressions #3 (part of the 2025 Late-Summer Art Exhibitions at Barn Gallery) is a direct-trace monotype, so visitors to the gallery can see an example of this type of print.
Materials you will need to bring to the workshop:
Your drawings, sketches or simple photographs, 8” x 10” or 6” x 8” works well for this workshop
Pencils, pens, 1-2 colored pencils, other mark-making tools (chopstick, e. g.)
Eraser, a 12” or 24” ruler (to set borders for your print; can also be used as a leaning bridge)
Tracing paper, (9” x 12” or similar works well for our format)
Easy lift Masking or Painter’s tape
Leaning Bridge – if you have one, please bring it! It is helpful to rest your hand over the print in progress to avoid unwanted marks

About Randall Hodgkinson
“The finest performance I have ever heard of this very difficult piece. It was as if he was reading my mind….” Aaron Copland on hearing pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing his Piano Fantasy in Jordan Hall, Boston
Randy achieved recognition as the Grand Prize winner of the International American Music competition, sponsored by Carnegie Hall and the Rockefeller Foundation, winner in the JS Bach International Competition, and as the recipient of the Tanglewood Music Center’s prestigious Cabot Award. His solo orchestral performances include appearances with the Atlanta and Boston Symphony Orchestras, the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and internationally with the Iceland Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia in Rome. He has had successful collaborations with such well-regarded musical giants as Leonard Bernstein and Gunther Schuller.
As both Randy’s parents were musicians, Randy began his musical career at a very young age, with his mother as his first teacher. “Discovered” at a music festival at age 15, he was encouraged to apply for admission to the New England Conservatory of Music, where he earned a BA, MM, and AD.
His musical repertoire spans from JS Bach to Donald Marino, and he performed the world premier of the piano concerto of Gardner Read at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.
He currently serves on the faculties of the New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and Wellesley College.
About Leslie Amper
“The highlight of the program was a most commanding and serious performance of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations…She built the series in a mighty span, intensely engaged throughout.” New York Times
Leslie Amper launched her career with a critically acclaimed debut in the Carnegie Recital Hall. While still a conservatory student, she won the first annual Jordan Hall Honors Competition and was selected to play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto #3 at her graduation ceremony from The New England Conservatory of Music. Taking advantage of a program offered through the Pittsburgh public schools for serious high school musicians, Leslie further honed her musical talents during summers at highly regarded music camps and festivals.
A winner of the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Fellowship Grant, she performed in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. She also toured the United States as the musical component for the Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibition 1934: A New Deal for Artists. An acknowledged scholar and practitioner of contemporary music, she is equally adept at accompanying silent film, and has compiled piano accompaniments at the Harvard Film Archives for the short films of King Vidor’s The Crowd, among others. She also performed onstage piano in Peter Sellars’ production of Chekhov’s A Seagull at the American National Theater. Leslie has continued to lecture and perform internationally in England, Italy and Austria, and at Art Museums around the country, including but not limited to the National Gallery of Art, the Norton Museum of Art. In 2020, she performed virtual concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
She currently teaches at the Longy School of Music of Bard College, the New England Conservatory Preparatory Department, and Wheaton College.

Price: $20 in advance; $25 at the door
Virtuoso pianist, Jonathan Bass, brings his wide-ranging repertoire and talent to Ogunquit for the first time. Jonathan enjoys a multi-faceted career, and appears
frequently throughout the United States and around the world as soloist and chamber musician. Of his 1994 Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall debut, New York Concert Review wrote, “A technical presence to be reckoned with…soaring with a feeling of lyrical discovery.”
“Bass is everything a pianist should be: encompassing technical brilliance Without showiness, musical and emotional depth, careful thought and an architectural sense of structure. He has a huge dynamic range, and what impressed me the most about his performance was his extremely delicate and controlled pianissimo, probably the hardest thing to do well on the piano.” — Christopher Hyde, Maine Classical Beat

Virtuoso pianist, Jonathan Bass, brings his wide-ranging repertoire and talent to Ogunquit for the first time. Jonathan enjoys a multi-faceted career, and appears frequently throughout the United States and around the world as soloist and chamber musician. Of his 1994 Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall debut, New York Concert Review wrote, “A technical presence to be reckoned with…soaring with a feeling of lyrical discovery.”
“Bass is everything a pianist should be: encompassing technical brilliance Without showiness, musical and emotional depth, careful thought and an architectural sense of structure. He has a huge dynamic range, and what impressed me the most about his performance was his extremely delicate and controlled pianissimo, probably the hardest thing to do well on the piano.” — Christopher Hyde, Maine Classical Beat

About Randall Hodgkinson
“The finest performance I have ever heard of this very difficult piece. It was as if he was reading my mind….” Aaron Copland on hearing pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing his Piano Fantasy in Jordan Hall, Boston

“The highlight of the program was a most commanding and serious performance of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations…She built the series in a mighty span, intensely engaged throughout.” New York Times
Leslie Amper launched her career with a critically acclaimed debut in the Carnegie Recital Hall. While still a conservatory student, she won the first annual Jordan Hall Honors Competition and was selected to play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto #3 at her graduation ceremony from The New England Conservatory of Music.

A winner of the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Fellowship Grant, she performed in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. She also toured the United States as the musical component for the Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibition 1934: A New Deal for Artists. An acknowledged scholar and practitioner of contemporary music, she is equally adept at accompanying silent film, and has compiled piano accompaniments at the Harvard Film Archives for the short films of King Vidor’s The Crowd, among others. She also performed onstage piano in Peter Sellars’ production of Chekhov’s A Seagull at the American National Theater. Leslie has continued to lecture and perform internationally in England, Italy and Austria, and at Art Museums around the country, including but not limited to the National Gallery of Art, the Norton Museum of Art.

46th Annual Student Art Show - Barn Gallery, Ogunquit
2026-05-08 - 2026-05-10
For 46 years, Barn Gallery has opened its doors each May to the youngest artists in Southern Maine — and every year, the room feels the same way. Proud. Bursting with creativity. Completely alive.
The 46th Annual Student Art Show begins with a reception on Friday, May 8 (4–6PM), and continues Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10, from 1 to 4PM each day. K-12 students from the coastal communities of Southern Maine will exhibit work spanning landscapes, portraits, sculpture, photography, jewelry, and more.
The 46th Student Art Show is — once again — generously sponsored by Dr. Gary Tirrell.
A Tradition That Spans Generations
For many of these students, this is the first time their work has hung in a real gallery — the same space where accomplished Maine artists have shown for generations. That experience stays with a young artist. The moment of seeing your name on the wall beside your work, watching strangers stop and look, is one that tends to travel with you.
Families have been part of this show since the beginning. Grandparents who remember bringing their own children now arrive with grandchildren in tow. Some of this year’s students are showing in the same gallery where their parents once stood, equally young, equally hopeful.
Additional InformationWhy Come
The opening reception on Friday, May 8 (4–6PM) is worth showing up for on its own. The artists are there. The work is fresh on the walls. You’ll see students who have never shown in a gallery before standing next to something they made — and that’s a particular kind of moment that the weekend hours, for all their ease, don’t quite replicate.
Saturday and Sunday (May 9 & 10, 1–4PM) are unhurried. Come back, bring someone new, take your time with the work.
