Rock, Paper, Scissors - Ox Bow
August 11, 2009
I'm at Ox Bow this week taking what they refer to as a "breather" ... also known as vacation. Ox Bow is a summer school of art and artists' residency programs located in Michigan. It really it is one of the most amazing places on earth. O.K. I'm a total art geek but it is still amazing even if you don't think you have a creative bone in your body. There are all types of mediums being employed such as glass, metal, ceramic, print and the traditional stuff like painting, illustration and sculpture. I am taking a print (collograph) class. The classes are like a whole semester rolled into a very short week. So, even as a gal who usually needs her sleep, I often find a whole day has passed and it's 1:00 a.m. in the studio. It is amazing how time flies when your having fun. Last night I left the print studio and ended up headed over to the glass studio - artists seem to be night owls. I was completely inspired and very impressed watching Kait Rhoads, an unbelievably accomplished sculptor and glassblower, doing a demonstration. I swear I will never look at glass in the same way again. And, she just happened to have on Horny Toad pants and mentioned she was a fan!
Here are a few picks from last night. Keep creating!
