Metal Show – Healdsburg Center for the Arts

We just visited the Metal Show at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts, and I must say that the show is very good. It ends this Sunday – June the 22nd – but it’s well worth a look if you’re anywhere near Healdsburg any time from now until then. The Center is just off the main plaza and is open 11-5.

Reed and I were honored to be invited artists and they have displayed our work splendidly amongst a lot of other quite good metal art.

Grand Lake Farmers Market Saturday 17 March

We’ll be at the Grand Lake farmers market again tomorrow. Come on by!

Farmers Market this weekend

We’ll be showing our jewelry and vases and clocks at the Oakland Farmers Market this Saturday the 12th of April.

2 desk clocks - wsc

These are a couple of examples of our patinaed brass desk clocks.

Spherical shapes

Reed suggested we experiment with some spherical shapes using a new tool (more about the new tool later) – so we spent awhile at the end of the day yesterday starting to figure out what can be done:brass sphere experiment sphere20130905175713-IMG_0106 sphere20130905180339-IMG_0108 sphere20130905181317-IMG_0109

We don’t know yet what we’re going to do with these things, though one intriguing idea is to use them in lighting fixtures. We have a bunch of exploration ahead of us.

Farmers Market

We’ll be at the Grand Lake Farmers Market again this Saturday the 29th.

FM-6-DSCN2479We should be getting our schedule for the market for the rest of the summer soon. We’ll post it as soon as we do.

the second wallpiece this year

Here’s the second wallpiece we’ve built this year at our temporary studio space at American Steel Studios.

wallpiece 13.02

It’s almost entirely built from old pieces that were intended for other wallpieces, but somehow didn’t fit and have been saved in the studio. Next we’re working on another piece built from old pieces – stay tuned…
