The Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition (SVAC) Studio Tour has experienced significant growth over the last several years, becoming one of Sedona’s “Can’t Miss” events. In fact, the Tour has been designated one of Sedona’s top cultural events by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce. It is a wonderful opportunity to shop for unique, one of kind…
The movers have come and gone and left us a huge beautiful mess of boxes and equipment. I say “beautiful mess,” because it feels so good to have all of this stuff out of my house and into space that seems custom made for what we need. All of the glass, equipment, supplies, and fixtures…
As a participant in the 2015 SVAC Open Studio event this past weekend, I was photographed and interviewed by the Sedona Red Rock News, our local newspaper. As it turns out, I was front page news! I was photographed doing a torch-working demonstration, making colored “twistees” for some future pieces. The event went extremely well,…
I’ve had a couple of prior posts about my studio move from my garage into “real” studio space. First, I posted about moving into what seemed to be a wonderful building with great views. Then I posted about the building having lots of problems with it and being grateful for our building inspector who caught…
I wrote two weeks ago about a new building I was hoping to move into around the first of the year. The closing was scheduled for tomorrow. Now it looks as though both closing and move in to the new studio space will have to wait until mid- to end of January, if they happen…
Moving my studio – definitely not a fun thing to contemplate with all of my kilns and equipment. However, currently my studio is housed in my garage. That has advantages in the summer, as I can move my kilns out onto the driveway (they’re on rolling carts) and keep from heating up the house. It…
Since I was talking about the artist community last week in my well post, I thought I’d stay on that topic for one more post. The Acres of Pearls community sketch above is the first pass of putting my initial ideas to paper. I think that Design Group, the architects, did a great job of…
It’s time again – I’ve posted every once in a while about an idea I had for an artist colony on some land I’ve bought outside of Sedona. Well, I know that I haven’t posted for a LONG while, mostly because there wasn’t really anything to say. We’ve been stalled getting permission to change the…
There is a finally a working title for this new venture that is the artist community outside of Sedona: Acres of PEARLS. PEARLS stands for Purposefully Engaged, Artistic Real Living Spaces. It represents several of the concepts that I associate with this new community, which include intentional living, a focus on artists, and a space…
It’s been a while – new community
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here. Quite a lot has been changing in my life and business. The biggest thing that is changing is that my biggest dream – creating a community for artists – is now in the process of coming true. That has had a huge impact on my focus…
