Getting ready for my June show

In June I'll be having my very first solo art exhibition. I'm already getting nervous about being prepared because I'm a notorious procrastinator. I'm feeling good about it though, because I'm off to a great start. This past weekend I spent some time at the Washington Glass School working on a glass piece for the show.

I start with a woodblock carving (which I will later pull prints from)...

Then, thanks to the wonders of a technique the fellas at the Glass School have been developing, I create a cast glass replica of the carving...

This opens the door to a lot of possibilities and fulfills a personal goal of mine to expand printmaking methods into other mediums. Imagine how many types of images I can now create based on one woodblock carving!

Many many thanks to Mike Janis, Tim Tate, and Erwin Timmers at the Washington Glass School for their patient and invaluable help on this project!
