I'm in charge of putting on monthly events for the Washington Sculptors Group. Here is a video from our last workshop at DC Glassworks:

sometimes i talk a lot

maybe i've got something to say. maybe not.
but i'm gonna try this:

Whats been going on?

I havent posted that much lately, but i don't really have a good excuse as to why.

-Artomatic is now over and was a fairly busy event for me. In addition to exhibiting and being there for as many events as i could, i also organized an artists market to set up for three sundays. AOM is an extemely rewarding experience and i would encourage all artists to participate in it when it comes around again.

-I had two weekend workshops that i've recently taught and were quite succesful.


-Rania and i set up at a craft show in baltimore.

-We're doing the Ballston Arts and crafts Market this saturday in Ballston, VA.

-Pile of Craft in Baltimore at the end of the month.

-i've been posting a bunch of art on my etsy.com gallery. look at my amazing feedback!

- I've moved out of my studio in mount rainier and am currently working out of my house.

- I have a show at Black Rock arts center coming up.
August15- September 7th, with an artists reception on August 18th.

the arts and industries building and a modest proposal

dcist had a post about the arts and industries building.
my comment in answer to their question, what should it become:

A center for the building arts, obviously.

with inspiration from the building arts expo at a folklife festival some years back, the SI could institute, along with their decorative arts programs a school, technical institute and demonstration area for the building and architectural decoration arts.
