Tommie Rush at booth #2104
Tim Tate & I ran through the American Craft Council show at Baltimore’s Convention Center – looking at the cool work and catching up with some old friends who are exhibiting at the huge show. Unfortunately, we were not able to stay too long, and we also were there on a wholesale market day – where the artists showing on those days are marketing to retail buyers – many of the booths were not open as a result. The ACC opens for the public on Thursday February 25, 2010.
Penland artist-in-residence Devin Burgess‘ sculptural glass is beautiful & sublime.
