I can hardly believe it’s this week - I am opening the gallery on Friday! I’ll open at 10 a.m. and stay open through 9 p.m. in honor of the First Friday ArtWalk. So excited and looking forward to seeing friends, old and new!

The ArtWalk site has put the map up: Here

I made up a flyer, here it is - click for the pdf version if you want to see it up close and personal.

OK, here we go. I’ve committed to opening the gallery during set days and hours. Wooo-eee-oooo, exciting!

Here’s the front of the postcard for the gallery opening. What do you think?

Many thanks to the stupendously stupendous Dudley Bacon for the uber-cool graphic done in record time!

I’ve got two garden mug and plate sets on show with the Artists’ Coalition of Flagstaff at Brandy’s Restaurant.

Stop by Brandy’s for breakfast or lunch and check out the awesome artwork on display! I feel lucky to live in a town with so many talented artists.

If you haven’t tried Brandy’s it is well worth it. Their eggs Benedict, with several varieties to choose from, is the bomb. They’ve got fresh baked goods and awesome coffee, too.

The studio is finished and awaiting final inspection! Paul and I put in long days and hard hours last week and weekend to finish up. Click the thumbnails for bigger and better pics.

First coat of exterior paint is on, and the interior is primed.
It took me longer than I expected to paint the primer - fresh drywall sucks up a lot of paint.
Here’s Paul working on the trim around the garage door opening.
Kiln vent installation.
Installing the kiln. Exciting!
The kiln is installed along with drying shelves.
Here’s a shot into the studio from outside the garage door. Still not sure exactly where things will be placed. I’ll need to work in the room for a while before I figure it out.
The door is yellow. This makes me happy.
Finished!
