We have had our first two art festival weekends locally - Arlington & Chevy Chase - and so many thanks to all who supported us and our fellow makers. The enthusiasm for seeing and buying art in person seems even better sometimes than pre-pandemic times. We had many conversations with our customers about how they preferred buying in person. Reasons included wanting to meet the maker and learning about how a piece was made. This is certainly the case with fascination about Bill's process for blowing the big hollow blown glass beads. They scroll online, they say, but nothing beats a live art event. I'm of a similar mindset. I grew up in the era without social media, had loads of friends, and went out of the house for my entertainment. We really enjoy participating in art shows. Its hard work, but rewarding & fun. Even in the rain, & wind & cold....!!!
During the winter break, which flew by way too fast, I had five new banners for the booth made. The old ones were tired and the new ones feature my latest jury photos. Rod pockets make for easy hanging. Pardon my photo styling above. I tried them out on broom handles when they arrived at my doorstep. This year some of the new work features combinations of glass, metal and gemstones. All elements are equally worthy to be in the company of one another.
We look forward to seeing you all soon and the privilege of your company!
