We have three new artists coming on board!
Hermes Illana is in the process of setting up his space now. He will be using his photography in combination with his creative construction abilities and newfound skills with a welder to create exciting new pieces to be shown soon in our gallery.
John Parkinson (johnparkinsonfurniture.com) will be arriving in June. John designs and builds beautiful custom furniture and will be putting together workshops and demos about the use of hand tools. Stay tuned!
David S. Huber (dshpipes.com) will also arrive in June and creates handcrafted artisan Briar Pipes. Even though David is relatively new to the art of pipe making, he already has a following and is looking forward to the inspiration of being surrounded by artists working in so many mediums.
…to meet so many of you during Art Walk May 2nd & 3rd when we opened up our Foundry on Foster Street. The comment we heard most?
“I had no idea what you actually did in here!”
