Studio UFO

Hello,
Please come by Studio UFO on Friday Sept 3, 7-10pm to hear the fabulous Tom Harding along with the rest of the fabulous band called Fever Creek.  Piper Mertle, Margen Riley and Thom Dykas!!!  Here is a shot of them as they really wowed the audience of the Northwest Washington Fair this August.   I think that they sing the best Cowboy French around these parts.  Don’t forget, I will be making space to dance so bring your dancing shoes.

Peace,

Trish

FAMILY, 36×12″ oil painting for the Burned Children Recovery Foundation Auction,  Ryan Stiles Golf Classic this weekend.   We got to see the show, Ryan Stiles and Friends at the Mt. Baker last night and it was hilarious.  Proceeds go directly to the Foundation.

Your tax-deductible donation provides support for burned children and their families.  For more information about the program, please call (800) 799-BURN or email bcrf@whidbey.net.

Our trip to Wyoming is now full. 

It couldn’t have been a better day at Felix Solomon’s studio steaming the flat bottom canoe.  There was the Chief Seattle Pole that is being repaired and Darrell was there who has been a life-long friend of my sister.  What a great day!

    Molly Mae’s time for the downhill was 33 minutes.  WOW!

Today, my day, I reach to the top shelf in my library, stretch to touch the binding and negotiate a firm grip. I take down the book of grief today.For a short time I allow myself a cosmically huge amount of self-sadness over the loss of my Ryan. I miss him so.I put the book back and reach for the book of joy…Molly is… my event of the day!I wish for all Moms to have a wonderful day with their children on this Mother’s Day.

Hi Trish -

Christine Kendall suggested I get hold of you.  We’ve got a very cool event coming up at the Roeder Home this coming Thursday, and she thought you might be interested, and possibly help us spread the word.  One of the top experts in North America on pre-contact Native Pigments is doing a presentation.  I’m not as well-connected in the visual arts community as I am with the folk musicians so I’m doing some last-minute scrambling.  Just in case, here’s a write-up:

SPECIAL EVENT:  NATIVE PIGMENTS
Thursday, Feb 25  Roeder Home 2600 Broadway, Bellingham
7:30 $8-$12 suggested donation
The Roeder Home was built on Native land, and it is a pleasure invite Native artists to share this old Home fully, and to share their art and heritage with the larger community at the same time.  Please come help welcome them home!

So, what DID they use for paint?  Look at those old totem poles and masks, their paint patinaed by age and wear, their once-rich colors almost erased by time: just what did Pacific NW Natives use to make that paint which has, in some cases, endured more than 400 years of embellishing Native objects.

Artist, educator and researcher, and recipient of a 2009 Bellingham Mayor’s Arts Award, Melonie Ancheta of Copper Woman Studio will share some of what she’s learned in the past 13 years of researching pre-contact paint technology among the NW Coast Natives. She’ll display and discuss samples of the pigments used and will address the importance of researching and preserving this information. You’ll be able to see some of the methods and materials such as handmade paint brushes and stone and mortar grinding used in the manufacture of paints. Oh, and of course, you’ll learn what human spit has to do with paint.
