In the spotlight

offcntrThis Friday, I get to be in the spotlight for a little bit.
I've been involved with Empty Bowls for years now, basically since Local Clay took it over from OPUS 5 gallery, somewhere in the 1990's. I've been EB vice-chair, then chair for Local Clay, organized our first "Throw-a-thon" at Club Mud, and try to give them at least 100 bowls every year. This year I think it was 106.
I've written elsewhere about why Empty Bowls is so important to me. This year, they're showing that I'm important to them as well.
This year's sale is on the first Friday of the month, and so they're participating in Lane Arts Council's First Friday ArtWalk. They're the final stop on the tour, and have asked me to be Featured Artist. I'll have a display of my non-bowl work (including a couple of sculptures), bring along some hand-made brushes and demo paper (don't think I'm quite up to actually glazing pots), and figure out something clever to say to the guest tour-leader.
Mayor Kitty Piercy.
Ulp.
