Friday evening and Saturday 8:30-4:30 I will be set up (as will Pam and Travis from Jugtown Pottery) at the Best of Our State at the Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst. Celebrate North Carolina’s unique music, history, humor, art and storytelling. The marketplace is open to the public and is located just outside the Grand Ballroom. So if you are in Pinehurst on the 4th of July, stop in and see us. Here is a new cuff bracelet that I will have along with me!
Yesterday afternoon I went to STARworks Ceramics for a plaster mold making workshop with Hitomi. It was excellent and I learned a lot. I have made a couple molds in the past, but nothing like this! Lots of little things I didn't realize!! Takuro or Hitomi put some pix on their blog http://starworksceramics.blogspot.com/. I was really pleased with how my two molds came out!
Now back to the bench. Trillium Gallery in Little Switzerland is expecting a selection of work from to be sent out by Friday and the Green Hill Center in Greensboro has devoted a window case to my work. If you haven't seen the current show it is well worth it. We went forTom Suomalainen's on the 1st of May. He and Wes were neighbors years ago and it was nice for Wes to reconnect and me to connect with Tom. We look forward to his visit to our home! It was a wonderful exhibition and his installation is really amazing. Even better after you hear his talk and the opera that went with it!
One more big bracelet. I am having fun with these. OK time to make some watches!
