 |
| A walk on the pier circa 1898 |
I've mentioned Crafthaus before, its a lovely site full of great artists and active members.
Susan Silvy and Christine Norton are co-curating an online exhibition on Crafthaus titled: "MetalNew Directions: Powder Metallurgy (Metal Clay) in a Sheet World."
Ann Davis is heading the jury team which also includes Jeanette LeBlanc, publisher and editor of Metal Clay Artist Magazine, and Gywnne Rukenbrod, Executive Director of HandMade in America. The exhibition will run online from April 15, 2011 to May 15, 2011.
Currently, there is an open call for entries for the exhibit which is scheduled to be viewable online at www.crafthaus.ning.com .The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2011 and participation is available to Crafthaus members only.
The call for entry, as well as the application to join Crafthaus, can be found at http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/crafthausexhibition/forum/topics/call-for-entries-new . The exhibition will remain online after the closing of the show.
Art Clay World has generously offered to host a photo exhibition of the New Directions: Powder Metallurgy (Metal Clay) in a Sheet Metal World exhibition at the Metal Clay World Conference this summer in Chicago! Therefore, those artists juried into the online exhibition will gain additional exposure at the conference.

A heart by any other name...
Well, love 'em or hate 'em hearts are here to stay. Looking back thro my own archives it seems that I've been 'doing ' hearts right from the get go of my jewellery making. I'm not crazy about them but they're always popular and with a bit of creative thinking they can be quite cool.
A little selection follows...and as the man himself says.
Where so ever you go, go with all your heart.

Art from all over the world
It's been a while- have you missed me?
The Daily Telegraph had an awesome list of websites to keep you busy for just about-EVER!
Put aside a few weeks/years and check out:
www.moma.org/collection the most comprehensive modern art archive by a single institution to date with 34,000 works, including reproductions of sketches, photographs ans ephemera not displayed in the galleries.
www.vggallery.com/letters You can fork out £450.00 for the Thames and Hudson book of Van Gough's recently published illustrated letters or, at no charge, view all 902 letters here.
www.google.com/prado Up-close and in 3D, examine the brushstokes on some of the world's greatest masterpieces, from Velazquez to Goya.
www.threadsoffeeling.com More than 4,000 babies were left at the Foundling Hospital between 1741 and 1760. A token, usually a piece of fabric, was kept as an identifying record. This is an online only exhibition of the contents of the museum's fabric archives.
and in case this isn't enough!
www.poetryfoundation.org A multimedia magazine but with a compendium of poems, lectures, essays and readings, the best of which are the historic recordings of modern American poets reading their own work.
Normal service- blog wise resumes next week!!
