We're very happy to welcome Liz Smith as one of our featured
artists. You may remember that Liz was the grand prize winner in our
Cup: The intimate Object IV exhibition last fall. Her pots are
whimsical and ornate, with a decidedly feminine aesthetic. View her
work and new pieces by Deb Schwartzkopf and Todd Shanafelt in the
featured artists section at www.claylink.com.
-----------------
Our Bowls exhibition curated by John Glick & Anthony Schaller is
still showing in the main gallery. There are many beautiful and
affordable bowls still available. This is a great opportunity to buy
a unique Mother's Day or wedding gift...wedding season is just around
the corner. Stop by to see the show in person, or view online at
http://www.claylink.com/currentexhib.html.
-----------------
My friend Chendra, who recently redesigned my website, is now
offering her digital & website services to the public. She offers
slide scanning, web design and maintenance, and many other digital
services. She is a fiber artist and art collector, who has been
known to accept pieces she enjoys in trade for her work. I often pay
her with pots. visit http://www.redstonegroup.org/digital for more details.
Thanks,
Charlie
