samples samples samples

So here are some things I need from you guys in addition to your shakers.

I would like four objects/samples:

- one cube that is at least 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" with at least one patterned side
- one sphere of any size larger than 1/2" in diameter
- one other object of your choice (can be derived from a sphere or cube, think faceted stone
shape we looked at in class).
- one object/container that has a lid (we will demo multiple lids in class soon, friction fit,
hinged, clasp, chained...etc etc)


These will be due October 29th.

shakers!!!

So Liz and I were looking for some birthday presents for her mom and best friend and went to the Blue Cashew in High falls. It is a designer kitchen supply store. That place is amazing! I thought you guys would like to know that they have a great selection of designer table ware including salt and pepper shakers!!!! Right in our own backyard. Go there! Check it out.

Crafthaus

So here is a new website I joined I can't remember if I told folks about this or not but.... Its called Crafthaus. You guys should check it out.

Also you guys should check out my new post about DIA: Beacon and Storm King

Interviews with Metals artists

I just pulled this from the SNAG forums (which was taken from the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution) and thought it would be great for anyone that is interested in hearing from the greats in the metals world.
