"Wow. Were they actually allowed to be buck naked at an art fair.? I guess I thought it would be illegal . Did anyone actually want to look at your art while they were in your booth? Just asking."

Madison,Salem,Bellevue the great west coast swing (or why i left Ann Arbor)

Why not Ann Arbor? there were a number of circumstances ,that went into making the decision. First was the calendar, AA did not hook up with Madison Art-fair on the Square and there was nothing the weekend before AA. Being from Portland Or. and it had been 10 years since my last visit with family it just seamed that it was time to plow new ground. I have always wanted to do Bellevue and Sausalito at least once, so it look like the time was right. I have done both the Original and State street…See More

Good report, Matthew. I'm trying to get show reports from a broader geographic area and this really helps. Best wishes and travel safely.

Hey Matthew, I heard you didn't want to dolly at the Decatur show, so you walked. It was a hard set up take down was easier a bit wet though. I kinda liked the show, the best part, I was Home by 9:30

Hi Matt. It's just good to be alive, I'm a walking miracle.
We start again in April with shows. I should be ok by then, I'm just a bit wimpy still but getting stronger each day. Looking forward to getting busy again.

this is great fun- I will figure out how to use this page- I am in the dark age computer group. yes we got snow during the holidays even here at the beach on the peninsula at the end of washington state.. I have been building a house with large studio since July and that has been a blast. my partner Tom has been battling lung cancer(and emphysema) since last March.. thats not been fun. I have been exploring a lot of new to me clay techniques- wheel,wood fire, terra cotta(went to Italy for three weeks for some of that),got a new truck for my 70th birthday. life is just fine. Tom in a good phase at the moment. Thanks so much for writing- Hello to Bea... Jan Richardson

Matt,
Great to see you on this forum. Smithsonian was a major topic at the Washington Craft Show. I didn't survey furniture people (it is a seperate category) but nobody in the wood category in Washington got into the Smithsonian show, nor did my daughter. Wood people @ Wash (Smithsonian rejects) included Urruty, Lounsbury, MacDougall, Barnes, Biggs, Codding, Jay Rogers, Manhikongs, Mode, etc. I don't think I even got the "ataboy, almost made it, thanks for the donation, sucker" notice that I have gotten in the past. Biggest news here is Evans the Younger - Leah won best of show at Philadelphia - obviously, we were all ecstatic beyond belief!! (Please excuse the bragging) See you at Old Town if not sooner.
Terry
