A few weeks ago Ger, Chan and I went to see an exibit at the Renwick Gallery (Smithsonian) in DC: Ornament as Art: Avant-Garde Jewelry from the Helen Williams Drutt Collection. It is there through July 6, 2008. It is breathtaking-a must see for all with an interest in jewelry or sculpture, or just beautiful pieces. Since it is a traveling exhibit, it may soon be in a city near you! The Houston Museum of Fine Arts owns the collection.
Earlier in May, while at Art and Soul VA , I was riding the elevator with Keith Lo Bue and memtioned the exhibit. He smiled and told me he has a piece, "What We See in the Sky," in the permanent collect . I should have known.
Speaking of Art and Soul VA, I took classes with Albie Smith, Diana Trout, and Daniel Essig. Each has a different teaching style. Great Classes/Great Teachers!
I met many wonderful women at Art and Soul and cannot thank Cil, Diana, Jean, and MaryBeth enough for helping with my booth on Vendor Night. The three hour event is hectic: non-stop from setting-up to breaking-down. I think I bring too many items and will have to give more thought as to what to bring next year. I also used a credit card machine for the first time! Disaster. Lesson learned: not to try something new at such a busy event.
