Grass And Shadows: Featuring Mixed Media By: (10:00 am - 11:00 am)
Laura Stahl Maze has been focusing on the printing process and its potential for expression.
A Social Order
“I have been exploring the range of possibilities with gelatin mono-prints.” Maze says, “It is relatively new to me, and I continue to discover new things.” Her prints and collages are identifiable by the distinctive style and delicate hue structure of her work.
Maze’s new work reflects her sense of wonder at the simple beauty found in nature. The artist employs her education, talent and emotion to create images that contain a sense of mystery, but she also uses art to explore her playful side. “I enjoy the freedom of adding elements to my prints that allow me to be spontaneous while staying focused on my general intentions for the piece”, Maze explains.
For glass artist Craig Weatherby, the beauty of working in glass is being able to work with both a surface form and an internal structure. His shapes may be classical, abstract or even highly functional, but the inherent beauty of nature and self-expression can be found within each piece, making them doubly enjoyable.
Weatherby’s distinctive forms and techniques create a dazzling array of glass objects that evoke pure joy and excitement. Still, working with molten glass is fraught with difficulty and even danger. “I have burnt and cut myself many times,” Weatherby smiles, “But I see those mistakes as vital learning experiences.” He goes on to explain that the art of glassmaking involves a great deal of trial and error, but each setback brings him closer to something totally new.
Artist Dale Wedig applies the craftsmanship of traditional metal-working to create contemporary artifacts. He enjoys working with metal because it engages him physically. “”It’s very satisfying to bring ideas into existence.” Wedig says, “I measure a day’s success by what I’ve accomplished.”
Wedig’s sculptures in this exhibit began as large copper disks hand-hammered to raise them into hemispheres. From this point he worked the potential of both the form and the metal by further hammering, heating, and shaping to create unique, beautiful vessels.

Mine Tours (12:00 - noon - 3:30 pm)
A guided tour of a working iron ore mine and processing plant will be available to the public again for the 18th year this summer as Cliffs Natural Resources Michigan Operations will open its mining area and processing facility to visitors beginning on June 22. The summer tours are a special program offered by the Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP) and Cliffs. The tours will begin on Tuesday, June 22 and run through the end of August. One tour per day will be offered Tuesdays through Saturday afternoons and will last approximately three hours. “This is one of the most unique guided tours offered in Michigan and it has become an annual tradition in Marquette County,” said Lindsay Hemmila, LSCP director of marketing, membership and management. “Mining has a rich history here and continues to be a vital part of the local and regional economy. This is the only regularly scheduled opportunity for people to see these operations, and mine visitors are sure to be impressed by what they see at the mine and in the processing plant.” “The summer visitors will receive a good overview of how these facilities operate and why they are essential to the North American steel industry,” said Dale Hemmila, district manager of public affairs for Cliffs. “Viewing the large mining equipment and seeing the technology involved in processing crude iron ore into finished pellets is a good way to gain a better understanding of this vital part of our economy. Cliffs is pleased to work with the LSCP to offer the tours again this summer.” Those taking the tour from Marquette will be able to board the tour bus at the Marquette LSCP office at 501 S. Front Street. Those wishing to begin the tour in western Marquette County will catch the bus at the Cliffs Shaft Museum located on Euclid Street in Ishpeming. Tickets for the tours can be purchased in advance. The cost is $15.00 per person, which offsets the transportation and administrative costs of the tour program. Tickets will be sold at the Marquette LSCP office and at the Ishpeming LSCP office located at 215 W. Hematite Dr. in Ishpeming. The bus will depart from the Marquette LSCP office at 12:00 noon and will arrive at the Cliffs Shaft Museum in Ishpeming at 12:30 P.M. The tour begins at 12:30 P.M. as visitors receive a video presentation and orientation at the Cliffs Shaft Museum prior to the bus departing for the mine. The tour route will allow visitors to view mining operations at the Cliffs’ Empire facility, while the ore processing portion of the tour will take place at the Tilden concentrator and pelletizing plant. The tour will return to the Cliffs Shaft Museum, then to the Marquette LSCP office. Transportation is provided by Marq-Tran motor coach. Tour space is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the popularity of the tour program, advance reservations are recommended. Minimum age for the tour is 10 years old and children ages under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

5th Annual Regatta Of The Upper Peninsula Community Rowing Club (8:00 am - 12:00 - noon)
The 5th Annual Regatta of the Upper Peninsula Community Rowing Club will be held Sunday, September 19th on Teal Lake in Negaunee. The public is invited to view the regatta, either on shore or in the water via kayak or canoe. Boat rentals will be available at the event.
High school, college- and community-level teams will compete in 8-person and 4-person sweep rowing. An individual sculling event will also be offered.
The Upper Peninsula Community Rowing Club was initiated in 2004 and has approximately 75 members. “Rowing and sculling are among the most vigorous sports,” said Gail Brayden, a local cardiologist and club member. “It’s a whole-body workout, and our community is fortunate to have an active club.”
Club president Ann Piereson expressed appreciation for the local support and sponsors. “We welcome Upper Michigan Boat Rentals as our primary sponsor this year. They bring a new and exciting dimension to the event with the encouragement of on-water viewing.” Several local businesses are supporting the event. “The general community also shows support and we love to hear the cheers as we practice in Marquette’s lower harbor “noted Piereson.
The regatta will take place from 8am to noon. Registration, staging and other activities will be located at the Lakeview School in Negaunee. Admission is free.
