Building wide art walk tonight

Up here in Rochester, where we’re being forced to endure an early spring (50 degrees today!!!), the building where my studio is located is having it’s first open house tonight.  This is in conjunction with the city-wide First Friday gallery night, and we’re hoping to get some traffic in.  There are at least 30 of the building’s artists who will open their studios and provide the public with face time and refreshments.  The kilns have been firing in my studio and there are lots of nice pots in the showroom.  I’ll take some pictures today and post them up here.  Thanks to Sabra, Jennifer and Marie for taking the time to get all this organized.

It’s been nice to get out of the grieve groove for a while.  Having to concentrate on glazing, and then getting the kiln loaded and fired has been good for me.  I have at least four other kilnloads worth of pots sitting on shelves, so I hope the kiln is a good one, which will give me the incentive to get them glazed and fired too.

OK, off to crack the kiln!

    Hi Richard,

    Sounds like you had some big changes since we last met. I didn’t know you had a retail venture going at your studio.

    I hope I’ll see you in Ann Arbor again? It’d be nice to see your latest. Meanwhile, it’s nice to see that I can keep up with your newest clay ventures through this blog. It’s nice to know it’s here.

    Regards,

    John Bauman

    Hi John,
    Good to hear from you! Yes, major changes. Ann Arbor, hmmm…I’ve been waitlisted, and I’m pretty far down the list, so I’m looking at other shows that time of year. We might see each other sooner, though. I’ve applied to Summerfair, in Cincinnati, and I saw that you do it too. Of course, I may not get in. I’ve been rejected by some pretty middling shows this year already.
