Art Camp at SPA

 The wonderful Tina Logan is doing an art camp this week at SPA -- they're making parading animals and people, and Tina took them into the gallery to visit the Parade exhibit on Monday. I hear that they liked the writing on my figures, and took notes of their own!

Today they came up to the studio to see what I was doing up there. They had great questions, lots of enthusiasm, and went home with a souvenir button they chose from one of my jars of big buttons.

Here I'm talking about how to put arms on a piece I'm working on -- whether it should be thumbs in (palms down) or thumbs out (palms up).

Backsides

 Here are the texts on the backsides of the sculptures, which are pretty clear in these images except the far one, which says: The World is round. Sail away!

I hope to see you at the Art Social at SPA tomorrow, Thursday, July 15, 5-6:30.

The Parade

I have three of my "people" pieces in the current show, The Parade is Coming! at Studio Place Arts, but instead of hanging on the wall, they're hanging from the ceiling and walking along in the gallery! They also have signs on their backs, which I will photograph later. There's an Art Social at SPA to celebrate the new shows on Thursday, July 15, 5-6:30 PM. Come on by!

 

Clock Ticking in a New Location

The clock I was commissioned to create several years ago was auctioned recently at Studio Place Arts and has found a new home in a beautiful new guest house. I hope it will be ticking away there for many years to come!

A New Look for the Studio

 Over the last month I've organized my materials, put in two new tall shelves for tools, older work, and materials. The front of the studio is now clean, re-painted, has plants, and a new rug! Woo-woo! There's a couch and a comfy chair, lots of light, and a nice place to display my new work. There will be an Art Social at SPA to celebrate the new shows on Thursday, July 15, 5-6:30 PM. Come on by!
