The book release and exhibition are scheduled for September 2013.

Insight

We are so lucky in the artists we have contact with through the studio. It is very insightful to read what they write about their work. for example from Stuart Shils :

e-mail marketing

We sent out an e-mail copy of Ken Kewley's postcard today using a free up to a point e-mail service-mailchimp.com. I have been very impressed with what a great job they do. One wonders however whether or not you annoy more people with an e-mail than you stimulate. What do you think about careful e-mail marketing? Iknow I hate the ones that come everyday.

Ken KewleyWorkshop and Show

We are really excited about the May 14 Workshop and show of Ken Kewley. We have been very lucky to see his work as it has been made. Joann is thrilled about the class since she is going to take it. I am getting a whole new view of art through these interactions. If you get a chance come to see what is happening 2nd week of May.
