Here are some of the finished pieces from the soldering Play Day in March (Debbie Marchione’s waves and Karen Seymour’s rainbow). There was enough interest to do it again June 10th. See the event listing for more info.
Think about holding a Play Day of your own. There’s a list of topic under Glass>Play Days Log in first and you can see the videos too.
In addition to the Gathering of the Guilds and The Vendor Fair mentioned in separate articles several members participated in
• The Best of the Northwest Art Show in Seattle (Lael Bennett, Cheryl Chapman, and Mitzi Kugler)
• Seattle’s Art In Bloom Garden Art Studio Tour (Karen Seymour, Lael Bennett, Bridget Culligan, Charles Friedman, and Janiene Fitzpatrick).
• Stephanie Johnston’s studio was on the Gorge Artists Open Studio Tour
Cheryl Chapman at the Best of the Northwest
Lael Bennett at Art In Bloom
Mitzi Kugler at Best of the Northwest
Janiene Fitzpatrick and glass at Art In Bloom
Bridget Culligan’s wisdom of owls at Art in Bloom
Charles Friedman’s shells, balls and planters at Art in Bloom
Please send us photos of your glass events!
(Do YOU have this year’s events on your business website — lots of members haven’t updated to this year yet when I went looking for events for the calendar)
Having a photo makes it so much easier to invite people to participate in an event next year. If you are part of or go to a glass event please take some photos and send the best 2 to the publicity team (400 to 600 px or “medium” resolution, about 500 KB, not more than 1MB).
