OGG and building artist websites

2020-03-02T07:43:16-08:00

Live in the Northwestern US, particularly in Oregon? Glassist of any description? You probably oughta be in the Oregon Glass Guild, OGG. Nice organization of really nice folk, have interesting meetings and occasional group discounts on cool stuff. They're helping me coordinate volunteers for the 2008 Glass Art Society's international glass conference, GAS, which will be held in Portland, OR. [...]

Artistry, artisanry

2015-11-07T16:18:52-08:00

"Like the old art vs. craft thing," she shrugged, "I mean, who really cares? I don't care what you call me as long as I can do glass." I agreed. "As a matter of fact, I don't think a lot of what we call glass art is art. I think it's artisanry. To me, art is all about the content. If what you're showing off is the properties of the glass, it's artisanry, not art." Across the table I could see her tense, her eyes widened slightly and she got that "if I weren't being so polite I'd knock off your head and stuff it up your..." look. "And are you saying," she said carefully, "that what you call artisanry is not as good as art?"

Hood River post-mortem

2017-10-07T17:34:52-07:00

Drove up to Hood River yesterday to participate in the "Art Walk,"this time as artist, not tourist, and I had a blast. I now see why people do these things, even if they don't get rich.

The next big step in glassmaking (for me)

2016-05-16T01:10:34-07:00

I'm a marketeer by trade. I've helped the Fortune 500 market products worth billions of dollars and several points on the NYSE, so this stuff should be old hat, right? Wrong--I'm discovering it's VERY different when it's your own artwork that's on the block. The last time I was this butterflies-in-stomach nervous was when I sang at my first concert (and since you've never heard me sing at concert since you can probably get an idea of just how nervous that was).
