2008 Utah Art Festival

"Take Part in Art" was the theme of this years four day festival and a lot of people took part. I am not certain of the attendance yet, I know that I did my fair share of talking. I saw a lot of new artists this year and I am always amazed of what people can create.

I am grateful that I was one of many invited demonstrating artists this year. I enjoy teaching and will share information with anyone who is interested in knowing more about glass art and the process.

Thank you to everyone who participated in putting together this phenomenal Arts Festival and of course all who sponsor it.

Farmers' Market 06-21-08

Another beautiful, busy day at the Park. Here are some friends from the Farmers' Market..... Someone needs to give John some coffee.

I will have a new booth space on July 6th it is just south of the last location on the corner. Just turn around and you will find me.

Also- I will not be at the Farmers' Market on the 28th. BUT... you can find me at the Utah Arts Festival by the City County Building. I will be one the Demonstrating Artist Booths so come and learn more about Glass Art and how kiln forming is done.

2008 Design Arts Utah Show

The Utah Arts Council, 2008 Design Arts Utah Show opened Friday June 20 in conjunction with Gallery Stroll, celebrating this years 16 winners.

I would like to Thank Juror Jennifer Morla and the Utah Arts Council for choosing me to participate in this years show. When I applied my hope was to get a critique on my application and suggestions on what to improve on. I was completely surprise when my work was selected.

Most of the participants are in fields such as Architecture, Product Design and Graphic Design. Everything from a new design for a wheelchair, Transit shelter project to modern Navajo residence constructed from recycled or discarded materials with an emphasis on using solar water heating systems and energy efficiency.

Again Thank you to the Utah Arts Council and all of the Participants of the show.

Opening Day at Farmers' Market

Well Summer is finally here..... The Farmers' Market opened with a huge bang. Patrons were as excited as I was, people were starting to arrive around 7:30 am. The weather had to have played a big part in such a successful day. I love seeing all of my market friends and spending the day in the park. Thank you again everyone. See you next Saturday.
