Hemlock Bluff's Art Gates Open House at the Artist's Workshop

Members of the Friends of Hemlock Bluffs and the Public Art Advisory Board were able to visit Lucas House, the Art Gate creator, designer and fabricator at his workshop for a sneak peek at the new art gates recently.  Visitors were able to see the gates partially fabricated and view the newly jet cut art pieces that will become the hemlock boughs attached along the gate arms.

Lucas was able to set up one gate arm to be in its working form, as a railroad-type gate, showing its movement from lowered across the road to standing upright like a sentinel.  Although the gates were only partially completed, seeing them in this phase gave folks an opportunity to envision them at the front entrance of Hemlock Bluffs.  Their size and heft were quite impressive.  The project hints at a promise of beauty and grandeur to come.
