anne havel said… you're not going to learn anything from me. i could learn tons from you though. i sort of muddle my way through every piece i make. i have no formal training at all. i've seen your work! you should apply. i think you don't realize how good you are and shouldn't sell yourself short. just remember one thing, bifei. the worst that can happen is they say no and you are no worse off than where you started. nothing ventured, nothing gained. these are wise words. i'm going to tell jennifer to talk you into applying. now watch out for the big gun. you will be at SNAG this year?

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
John Lunn replied to John Lunn's discussion SNAG Toronto part 4 in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"It is a good article. It's a bit disappointing that the 3 artists they interview are men when it was so obvious that 90% of the Trunk Show exhibitors were women. I'd like to do a blog or two on the influence of women in the arts and how it…"
Steve Shelby commented on Rebecca Rose's group Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately"Hi Rebecca. I have had probably a 50% success rate entering juried exhibitions, which I think is actually pretty good. I don't do shows where you go and peddle your wares from a booth. The exhibitions I've been in are held in art museums…"
