It’s that time of year again. I’m having my annual studio sale the first weekend in December, the 1st and 2nd from 10 am to 5 pm. Rupa Palasamudram’s pottery and Stephanie Benson’s jewelry will be here again as well.
Last year as part of the online course I’m teaching, Antoinette Badenhorst interviewed me about my career and my life. She’s just put it up on her web site at https://porcelainbyantoinette.com/antoinette-interviews-artists.html
It’s about 17 minutes long. Check it out.
I was honored to receive a 2018 University of Montana Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award this year. We went to Missoula last weekend to get that, and here are some pictures. I spoke to two classes of art students, had a small luncheon with the other winners and the U President and a few others, spoke at a reception for me in the School of Art, and was interviewed and given a plaque at the awards ceremony. Then we go to ride in the Homecoming Parade, and watch the Homecoming Game from the President’s box, with an introduction on the field at halftime. I also got a brick with my name on it inset in the Oval on campus. It was pretty special.
All of the month of February, I'll be showing paintings at Walter's Ice Cream Shop at 6408 32nd Ave. NW. They're going to be part of the Ballard Art Walk on the evening of the 15th, so if you're in the area, stop by.
I've been woking hard lately getting ready for the annual sale at my studio. It will be odd this year not having Gay Jensen's fiber work with me for the first time in 31 years. And Kathy Dannerbeck, sho has had her jewelry here for the last 6 years, will also not be here. So this year I have two new artists, who I'm really excited about. Rupa Palasamudran will be showing her stoneware and porcelain pottery and Stephanie Benson wi;ll be showing gold and silver jewelry. Here's what our card looks like, with hours and directions.
