Happy Hour Featuring Ellen Brook, Nassim Nouri, and Carol Gilbert
Thursday, November 6th 2014, 3-8pm
Fluid, zen, peaceful, calming, whole; this is who we are featuring. This Happy Hour will have the theme "Falling for Texture," created by 3 wonderful artists and friends, including Ellen Brook, with one-of-a-kind silk designs, Nassim Nouri, with beautiful jewelry, and Carol Gilbert, with her unique hand-dyed clutches, purses and pillows.
Ellen Brook
Fresh off the runways of San Jose and Santa Cruz, Ellen's artwork comes to life on silk. Brushstroke by brushstroke, she hand paints her designs, reflecting the brilliance and vibrancy of a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic groove. Each item is one of a kind -- at once relaxed and comfortable but also elegant and sensual, celebrating each woman's beauty and originality. |
Nassim Nouri
Nassim, the creator of Blue Donya Jewelry, is forever inspired by nature and the beautiful blue world. Her collections reflect a passion for simplicity and balance, bringing together unique, modern design with unexpected and beautiful materials. Each piece is one-of-a-kind wearable art, born of an original design and hand assembled by Nassim. |
Carol Gilbert
Utilizing natural recycled materials such as leather, wool and linen, Yorktown Road products by Carol Gilbert are hand-dyed and freeform in design. Carol's pieces allow the texture and form of the material shape the essence of the work, altered with random folds, pleats and seam lines to enhance a particular aspect of the textile, allowing it to be seen in a new way. |

September 2014
Happy Hour Featuring Bill Jackson's "Impermanence and Imperfection"
Thursday, September 4th 2014, 5 - 8pm
During our upcoming Happy Hour, Ricochet will be honored to present
our special guest, Bill Jackson, a Bay Area photographer, whose core of
photographic work is based on the combination of two factors: Wabi-sabi,
a Japanese world view that finds beauty in transience and imperfection,
characterized, in part, by roughness, simplicity and intimacy; and people
living on or near the fringes of society. Bill will be showing photographs
of damaged and discarded mannequins, no longer suitable for store use but,
by being saved by Bill, are finding new life in art. This fits nicely with Ricochet’s
mission of creating wearable art from rescued materials. The exhibit further
blends our two missions with some of the photographs showing mannequins
wearing Ricochet’s dresses. This will be a fun and unique exhibit, which will
also showcase many other local artists who regularly take part in our
Happy Hour events. Hope to see you there!
