More Open Studios

[avram]

More studios today. Went back to 111, checked out the fourth and fifth floors, then back down to catch some folks I’d missed yesterday. Lots of really good stuff. I’m thinking about glazes, I’m thinking about lines, I’m thinking about metallics. I’m thinking I really need to build some more shelving and clear off my drawing table.

Anyone know offhand how much a 6-foot length of 1x12 white pine weighs? Hm, according to this page it’s three pounds per boardfoot. I don’t think I can get a full shelving unit’s worth of wood home without a cart. I might be able to catch one of the wild carts that I sometimes see grazing near the supermarket.

I also went to the after-tour party at the Jersey City Art Museum. Tiny museum, even smaller than the Seattle Art Museum, I think. New York has spoiled me for museums; now I know why tourists rave about them.

Growing up in Chicago has spoiled me for museums, too. The Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, the Museum of Science and Industry. Yeah! They were all childhood favorites.

Yeah, the 111 exhibits were pretty cool. Ron Englsih's work was pretty impressive.
