Pokanoket Club Studio of Artists to Show Works at Dover Library in May

The Friends is pleased to announce that the Pokanoket Club Studio of artists will be the Artists of the Month for May. Fourteen local artists, who take watercolor classes with Dover resident Fredericka Fiechter, will display their works of floral, landscape and still life paintings in watercolor, oils and pastel. The exhibit began May 3 and runs the entire month.

Fiechter teaches the class at her home, which once housed the Pokanoket Club, a former men's club in Dover that dates back to the late 1800s, giving the group its name. The class began 15 years ago and the group, which has changed slightly over the years, is in its eleventh showing at the library through the Artist of the Month program. 

The artists showing this year are: Alisa Billings (Dover), Judy Carver (Marion), Barbara Chandra (Newton), Jane Cheever (Dedham), Dorothy Dalton (Dover), Fredericka Fiechter (Dover), Deborah Gaines (Norfolk), Holly Johnstone (Needham), Robin Kakas (East Sandwich), Nancy Mackay (Dover), Sue Patterson (Barrington, RI), Eileen Perini (Dover), Beth Schroeder (Newton) and Joan Vaccarino (Sherborn).

Pieces are available for sale and 10% of sales go to the library.
