October 28 - Chastain Studio Lofts Gallery Show

Friday was the opening of the Dark Arts show at Chastain Studio Lofts.  It was great fun and a good many people came in costume.  There was a raffle and yours truly won a painting that was created by everyone at the studio.

Friday - Chastain Studio Lofts Opening

Friday night was the opening at Chastain Studio Lofts.  It's a great space and there is a sense of comfort that settles over you when you're there.  There was food and drink and lots of great conversation along with the fine art from all disciplines that was on display.  It was crowded most of the evening and I caught up with some old friends and made some new ones.  If you get a chance to go there, do check it out.

I had so much fun that I finally left Kim and Shellie there at about 1:00 am.  I had to get back so I could get to Clayworks at a decent hour the next day to help set up for the open house.

On my way home I found a huge sinkhole in the main road in front of my neighborhood.  A 24-inch water main from the early seventies had ruptured, probably from the earthquake earlier in the week.

The street was all buckled and it looked like Kilauea.

Sunday - Chastain's Studio Lofts

Sunday I met Elaine at Chastain's Studio Lofts in Lancaster, SC to drop off pottery.  Christina, the owner was excited to get our work to display and was very supportive with lots of positive feedback.  I look forward to the gallery opening on Friday night.

I had never been to Lancaster before.  It's a quaint downtown area with lots of storefronts that sport historic plaques and cornerstones.

Once I had dropped off the work, I went back to Clayworks to do some glazing.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these two.
I don't want to lose the texture with too much glaze.
