    “Sharing and Sherlocking” is a phrase used to describe a meeting where participants can present their work, seek feedback, and brainstorm new ideas.

    • Sharing: This part of the meeting is a platform for participants to showcase projects they’ve been working on, share their accomplishments, or demonstrate a new technique they’ve learned.
    • Sherlocking: This term refers to the process of solving a problem or a challenge. In this context, it’s an interactive session where members can present a problem they’re trying to solve and receive input, advice, and creative solutions from the group. The name is a playful nod to Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective.
    • You can email photos in advance to Barb to share if you’re not able to present it yourself.

    Glass Art Tour & Sale Sept. 14-15, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Portland/Vancouver: Register by Aug 15th (next Thurs.)

    Showing your work at a studio tour is very different from doing an art show. You don’t have to pack and unload everything in a few hours plus you often end up with a cleaner studio. The customers are genuinely interested in why and what you do. There are fewer of them but they BUY. It’s lots of fun. You’ll spend two days talking about glass and find yourself inspired and energized to make more art.

    This greater-Portland/Vancouver area studio tour is in its 9th year. Current PNW Glass Guild members who have their studio or home in these five counties:  Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas (Oregon) or Clark (Washington State) are encouraged to register to be on the tour. Some already registered studios have space for guests (you must be a current PNW Glass Guild member to participate). More guest artists generally means more customers stop by your location.
    Here’s the link to the registration info. Please contact Linda Gerrard if you have questions.

    October 19-20 Seattle studio tour may have space for a couple more guest artists.

    The PNW Glass Guild sponsored Glass And Decor studio tour and sale is part of Refract, the big Seattle area 4-day glass celebration. Contact Karen Seymour for more info, please include phone #, best time to call, and a link to your website or PNW Glass Guild Members’ Gallery page.
