Gallery Pedastals

Ray Pemberton made these fantastic pedastals for the gallery and shows. They are really beautiful and show the glass off. It looks like I moved again as I snapped the picture.

Getting Ready

Many thanks to Bob for posting up a link to our site and information about our up coming home show. We spent the weekend getting ready. The house is decorated and the glass is out. We have a lot left to do but great progress has been made. Many thanks to Chris McGahan at Bella Forte for letting up borrow his annealher for the weekend too. I think we can fill up all three pretty quickly. Thanks to everyone how has come out to help us get ready too. The support and love does not go unnoticed but I am often neglectful in expressing my gratitude. Thank you all - Zack and Michelle, Angela, Brent's mom, my mom, Aunt Nancy, Aunt Pat, Maggie, Dad.
See you all this weekend.
Keep it Centered.

At the Torch

Here is the torch fired up for lampworking or bead making. It is fun and relatively easy. Brent has open torch night every Tuesday. Drop by and have a seat and make some beads. Brent will give a lesson on how to make different shapes and objects. We have everything you need at the studio for a successful bead making experience.

Home Show

Blue Sage Studios is going to have a home show on December 2, 3, and 4 from 10 until 6 all three days. We will have glass blowing demostrations, art glass for sale. Drop by Blue Sage Studios for a holiday shopping extravaganza. You will surely find some gifts to please all the people on your list this year. From vases, bowls, platters, paperweights and pendants we have gifts from 5 dollars to 500 the sights and sounds of the glass blowing experience will also make a wonderful memory to cherish for years to come. Kids and adults walk away wide eyed and giddy from the interactions of the glassblower and the audience. We also offer glass blowing lessons if you would like to give a loved one a Christmas gift that will last a lifetime.

This is a great place. If you are out and about in Santa Fe, NM and have the oppertunity a trip to Tesuque is well worth it. Drop by and visit Charlie Minor and friends as they blow the glass most of us dream about.

Gearing up

We are coming close to the open house. it is not far away now. December 2, 3, and 4. Drop by and get some beautiful glass for the holidays.

Ray at the Grinder

Here is Ray grinding some glass. It is very difficult work. It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience.

Another Angle

Fine Art Institute Display

This is our set up for the Fine Arts Institute Show. We had some great work on display and everything looked really grand. We sold a few pieces so hopefully we can afford to keep blowing glass for a while longer.

Church Bizarre

My Mom will be at the First United Methodist Church in Edmond on Saturday for their annual craft bizarre. If you are out and about drop by and see of our work. The church is at 305 N. Hurd pretty close to Old North and UCO. She will have oil lamps, Christmas Ornaments, vases, paperweights, magnets, and other items. This will be a great oppertunity to stock up on gifts for friends and family.
Brent and I will be at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute tonight. Drop by 27 E. Edwards to see some of our bigger work. We will be showing there through Saturday afternoon.
Don't forget to mark your calendars for our annual Home Show on December 2, 3, and 4.
Keep it centered.

Platter by Brent

This is one of the many items that will be on sale this weekend at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute fund raiser. This is a great oppertunity to purchase some wonderful art and help a great cause too.

Fine Arts Institute of Edmond Show

There is a big show this week at the Fine Arts Institute of Edmond. We created a Christmas Ornament for a fund raiser for the museum. I hope they sell them all. Drop by the Fine Arts Institute this week on Thursday, Friday or Saturday to see art for sale and show your support for all the good work this group does for our community.

New Photos

I am posting photos from the new Moto mobile phone to my Mr. Boatman's Room blog. I have chosen this avenue for the photos because not all my images, albeit most of them tho, will be glass related. So be sure to check out the other blog for lots of wonderous pics of hot glass, glassblowing, and completed works of art.
Thanks for watching and be sure to keep it centered.

Our Booth

I got a new Moto phone with a camera. I took a photo of our booth at the An Affair of the Heart show. The focus seems a bit off. I tried to send the image directly to the blogspot via the email posting feature but it did not work. I then sent the image to my gmail account and then to Picasa 2 to get it posted here. Amazing stuff this technology.
Keep it centered. 

Testing Email Post

Hey there,

I thought I would try out the email posting feature at the old blogspot. Let me know if this works...
