UPCOMING EXHIBIT

Hi Everyone,
I just want to let you know about an upcoming basket exhibit that will be showing my work. It is "Containers, Containment and Contents" presented by the Arts Council of Snohomish County and featuring work by members of Northwest Basket Weavers Guild and Northwest Designer Craftsmen. The exhibit runs Jan 9 - Feb 12, 2009, with an opening reception on Friday, Jan 9 from 5 - 8 pm. This exhibit is running in conjunction with an exhibit at the Bellevue Arts Museum called "Intertwined: Contemporary Baskets from the Sara & David Lieberman Collection". This is a traveling exhibit organized by the Arizona State University of Art, Tempe, AZ, which will run through March 22, 2009.

"Ocean Wave"
driftwood, reed, sea grass, shells


"Wings"
sage root, reed, cane, feathers

If you have a chance to get over to the Seattle area, you may want to take some time to see these exhibits. The Art Council of Snohomish County is located in the historic Monte Cristo Hotel,
1507 Wall Street, Everett, WA www.artscouncilofsnoco.org.
The Bellevue Arts Museum is located at 510 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA
I wish you all a safe and healthy new year. Looking forward to our next meeting on Feb 18 at my place.

Your baskets are beautiful! I wonder if you would be interested in any natural materials that any of us may have - for instance I have lots of redtwig dogwood, and an abundanse of tall grasses.
