Paula Cooley with You Too Can Be A Twelve Point Buck!

M. Craig Campbell with Infrastructure

Infrastructure is commentary on the ailing and failing of human-made infrastructure. Our water, sewer, electrical, roadway, railway, buildings and more are aging and decaying. They are in need of near constant repair and much of it has past its “best before” date waiting for repair, replacement or demolition. Infrastructure is the first in a series of four pieces to date, each one larger and further evolved than its predecessor.

Photographs of Daryl Richardson's recent work

Often times our work gets made just in time for an opening and we haven't had time to photograph them. This was the case with Daryl at the Spring Open House. The "Pods" are still available copper, with patina, and 23 carat gold leaf, on steel thorns. Sold

Blackstrap Art Studio Tour, May 28-29 2011

This weekend three of our members will be taking part in the Blackstrap Art Studio Tour. Ken Wilkinson and Paula Cooley at their pottery studio at Agar's Corner, #1 on the map. Daryl Richardson will have a forge going at Al and Joan Hiebert's Hot Shop, #2 on the map. The Studio Tour is a fun way to spend a day, and there will be lots of great craft, and demonstrations, the glass blowing is always a highlight.
