On the edge of EMERGE 2012 – yes, slackers, your entries are due this week! – I can’t resist a trip back in time to the first iteration of this little  competition / exhibition.

Axe and Ye Shall Receive

It’s the end of a rich Thanksgiving weekend and among so much other good fortune, I’m feeling blessed for all that Dan and I enjoy in being part of Bullseye. Making a material for art-making has rewards on too many levels to cover in a single post, but today I’d like to spotlight just one: “Working Glass”.

The Smartist

Before we  dedicated actual studio space within the Bullseye factory for artist projects  (over 20 years ago), they had to happen in whatever nook or cranny was free at the time. And “the time” was almost always a weekend or a holiday.

Some of us still remember those late nights between Christmas and New Years spent on the hot shop floor with some creative Eccentric re-purposing a piece of production equipment to make Art.

What Am I Waiting For?

I was reminded yesterday that I’d abandoned this blog at the edge of a North Sea cliff almost a month ago. It’s just that what happened next was almost too rich for me to digest.

It’s been now two months since Steve Klein and Richard Parrish led the latest In Place residency at North Lands Creative Glass.
