Is my shop now a studio?

[Dick Sowa]

So the day before entries were due, my wife asked if I wanted to enter a local art show. So on a lark, I entered some pieces...and to my surprise :)

The winner (on the left) is the shape of a Panatenaic Amphorae that I found online. They were Greek vessels, given to athletes in the Panatenaic games, held every 4 years. The feature ring was inspired by Malcolm Tibbetts "For the Boy King". Cherry, with maple and walnut accents. The other two are pet urns...with screw lids.

Dick - congrats on your win! Recognition well deserved!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Cograts Dick. Well deserved. Yep it is now a studio.

[Ron Bontz]

Beautiful pieces. How many hours do you have tied up in that blue ribbon piece?

[Steve Mawson]

Yep, studio for sure.:D Very nice piece.

Oh, about...that many :) Seriously, I have no clue. 720 pieces. It was one of those "do it during breaks with summer chores" kinda things, and drug on for about 2 months or so. Segmented vessels are weird that way...very little time to cut the segments, but a lot longer to assemble and glue them up.

Very nice work Dick! Guess you could call it a stude-E-O now, but "shop" is easier to say.

[Eugene Wigley]

Congrats on the win. Great looking work.

I don't know of your shop is now a studio but for sure you're going have to get a black beret and one of those long black cigarette holders.

Congratulations!
