Join us for 3rd in the Burg this month for our holiday show! This is a group show of our in-house artists, making holiday shopping a breeze! Just simply take the works off the wall to the front desk for purchasing.

Be sure to check out the Mystic Realm installation (located on the 3rd floor) “Entwined: The Guardians of the Realm”, which is a continuation of the stories of the previous four Mystic Realm installations by Cindi Hardwicke, Kathy Mina, and Justin Pettingell of Sycamore Shade Studio. It’s fantasy characters of stoneware clay and glass are displayed in a large ‘in the round’ fantasy landscape, where you can imagine that you are tiny and taking a walk around the realm.

Inspired by Celtic lore that celebrates the importance of Trees, particularly the Oak tree. The Oak Tree provides protection and sustenance, it’s branches spread wide, and it’s roots run deep and entwine with all life above and below ground. “The Celts believed that trees held the souls of their ancestors and were the doors to the otherworld while representing the cycle of life and the interconnection of all creation”. Our concern for the environment and how everything in our world is interconnected is a major theme.

This most recent Mystic Realm exists on the Isle of Pittenween, which is installed, in the round, outside of Sycamore Shade Studio, 215 between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Follow our ‘Making of the Mystic Realm, Edition 5’  progress on our website — intheshadeofthesycamoretree.com
