Masters at work!

Happy to have had Matt here for Spring Break. We tried to work him hard! Worked on extra hard, heavy, huge platters and today they created a hot sculpted Torso. The toughest one of all to complete.

Marshmallows, sausage and beer!

Quite a combination! Marshmallows and sausages toasted in the glass furnaces! We are celebrating not only Hannah's visit home but also Matt's return for Spring Break. He is the goblet master now and accomplished artist. We need his talent and muscle this week to finish some large pieces. What a fun evening! We'll have to do this again.

Hannah's Art

Hannah brought home some of her art projects. She is preparing for her graduate show. Yeah!

Hannah's Home!

Spring Break! Digging through a few old photos of Rick and me somewhere around age 25-26. Full of dreams! Just like my girls are today.....

Keystone Thrust

Inspired by Red Rock Canyon in the Nevada Desert west of Las Vegas, this standing Uplift (51"H x 28"W) was named for the fault running under the canyon. We love the colors of that area! Last week it found a home with local art patrons, Dean Prigmore and Patrice Taylor. Dean knew right away the meaning of the name so this piece was meant for them!

Happy in Hawaii

Nice to be placed near koa wood and a painting by Russell Lowrey!

Cousin David at the Industry Cafe. Thrilling!

LA

The birthday weekend was spent in LA with cousins. Cousin David played sax with his trio at the Industry Cafe. We visited the Getty and the LA County Museum of Art along with two mornings wandering Manhattan Beach. It was a whirlwind and I caught a few images on the run that capture the feeling of LA. I want to share! First the Getty, a magical place with dramatic architecture and broad vistas through the smog. Special exhibit was LA artists from 1950 to 1960.

Hot Sculpture!

Still playing with the hot glass!

Happy New Year!

A huge thank you to all who supported us through the holidays! It was a magical, fast and furious month of December. But still not a drop of rain so we decided to completely reorganize the barn and back room of the studio with help from "Fancy"! Lots of 2012 glass projects in mind! We found some beautiful Wave Bowls in the archives that will make their way into the world this year. So we plan to respect the past and move on with the new.............Have a wonderful, peaceful 2012.
