velvety good!

As I mentioned in an earlier blog entry, the new American Craft Magazine had a makeover this year, transforming it into a much more vital and smart look into the best of contemporary craft. The current issue has a sweet little interview with Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt, who I have had the extreme pleasure of working with as they've represented my work in the past nine years at the Velvet da Vinci Gallery in San Francisco. You can read that article online by clicking here. It's really nice to see them finally getting the national in-print recognition they deserve because they really have been true visionaries as far as contemporary craft is concerned.

(Oh, and for the record, Mike told me yesterday that there's a misquote in here--he was trying to impart that Velvet da Vinci was the first gallery on the WEST COAST to show international work, not the entire continent! Somehow they left that little tidbit out of the printed article, so please keep it in mind when you read this.)
