ART HUB

Welcome Back!!

I just arrived from Pilchuck Glass School. This is a hidden gem in the woods where the uber-famous have studied, experimented, and manipulated all kinds of materials, namely glass. Dale Chihuly and team founded this beautifully secluded spot in the 70's. Even today, you can escape and immerse yourself with a community of artists by taking an "art-cation", in which the temporality of your experience there can last a lifetime.

 

While immersed in the campus culture, I enjoyed meeting and networking with skilled professionals and teachers. My journal is filled with ideas and new methods and I can't wait to share them with my local creative comrads!

 

What is a dream and reality is that art-making should be a daily, weekly, and monthly practice. There is no need to "escape" if you dedicate yourself to your work and your place. Travel through the stroke of a brush, a hand dipped in plaster, or perhaps a slide to the right-left-right.

An "art-hub" is "home"...where you connect with other people on your block, who also share your passion for making and movement. Your creative energy is simply accessed by walking in and getting to work!

Find an "art-hub" in your community. No matter if you are young or old, rich or poor...creating your works of art is just as important as anyone else who has had the chance to shine!
