Pittsburgh… Interrupted

Now, before I interrupted myself with the last post, I was reminiscing about my trip to Pittsburgh last month. Where was I?Ahh, yes. Now as I recall… I never actually put up images of the *actual exhibition*. I know, installation shots of jewellery are always a little anaemic looking, but humour me here, ok? These are images of The Bridge 12 exhibition at …See More

"Yes, yes, yes and yes! I had a great time, and I find it a really interesting city, especially architecturally (that being my usual weakness). And everyone at SCC and all of the universities treated me so well, it was a grand adventure all round."

Posted on April 30, 2013 at 3:00pm 0 Comments

Well, my final day in Pittsburgh last month was the day of the Out of Hand show at SCC. I got to have some rest time in the morning after the previous day’s efforts. Friday had been my final day of teaching the high school seniors, and had also included making a presentation to more Uni students, this time to…

Time for a new subject... Oh wait, no, more Pittsburgh!

Posted on April 29, 2013 at 6:28pm 1 Comment

So while I was in Pittsburgh I spent part of Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday teaching a group of seniors at a local high-school the basics of working with recycled materials, so that each could make a small wearable pendant. I don’t have images of those guys, but I hope to have images of their works to share with you at some stage.

What I do have however is an image of what I made on Wednesday before class, after an overnight dumping of 5 inches of snow. It’s…

A friend of mine, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds, told me to come look at your jewellery and I'm glad I did. You create some really nice layered pieces of jewelry. I love the effect. Beautiful work!

No idea what was in it. I refreshed which tin, and I had gotten it at an estate sale. Sorry I couldn't help!

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

FOLLOW ALONG...leave your comments and questions.
