Invited to show

[Ken Glass]

Hey Gang,
I am really excited. I went to a larger Art Gallery in our capital city 30 miles away to apply for an Artist's application there, with the chance, if accepted, to possibly show some turnings. They handed me the paper work to fill out so I brought out a few recent turnings like the voided Mulberry Vase and the Purple Leaf Plum on a pedestal along with a Burled White Oak N.E. Challis for them to see, and as I was starting to fill out the application, they looked at each other then told me I would be accepted and that they would like to show at least 6-8 pieces to start. They even gave me an opportunity to be their featured Artist on a Friday night in a few months. They are a fairly large volume dealer and have Artisans from around the country. I am one of only two who will be showing turnings there. I am pleased as punch with the opportunity. Thought I would share....

[Steve Schlumpf]

I am extremely happy for you! Keep us posted!

[John Keeton]

Ken, great news!!! I hope all goes well for you, and that this is the start of a long relationship with this gallery. Sounds like they have a good clientelle! Good luck, and make sure to report on the featured artist show, too.

[William Hutchinson]

Congratulations and much success at the showing. It must be extremely reaffirming to know your talents are immediately apparent to professionals in the business.

[John Hart]

I just went through a bunch of your past postings. I see why they snatched you up. I bet it feels pretty good. Congratulations Ken.:)

[Gary Conklin]

Super news! Congrats!!:)

[Fred Perreault]

That is terrific news Ken...... and something to be proud of.
I was asked to appear at two local galleries in the past year. They asked if I would bring my own broom and take the midnight to 8 shift. :)

[Steve Mawson]

WOW a new artist from my hometown. Congratulations, hope everything goes well.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Ken. It is a well deserved honor.

[Pete Jordan]

Way to go, Ken!

I hope it leads to a ton of sales!

[Ted Calver]

Wow! That's great news. All they had to do was look at your gallery on here. I hope it is a resounding success.

[Larry Marley]

That is great news!
Congratulations Ken

[Cathy Schaewe]

Wonderful!

[James Roberts]

Super news Ken, glad to hear it. Enjoy the experience.

[Ken Glass]

Thanks for all the well wishes. I did have to sign an exclusive contract not to show turnings with-in 10 miles, but that's not a problem with any other towns around here.

Fred,
That's really funny.

That is good news Ken, I'm glad for you, Taking along some pieces is a good way to introduce yourself and get immediate results, that has been my experience as well, though of course the pieces have to be good, no problem with yours :D
Have fun and take care :)

[Neil Strong]

Way to go!

.....

[Tom Sherman]

Good on you Ken, good luck with the sales.

[Aaron Wingert]

Congratulations Ken. Always rewarding to get recognition for your skills and work, and selling some pieces is icing on the cake!

[bob svoboda]

Congratulations Ken. Best of luck with your turnings!

[Robert McGowen]

Congrats, Ken. I hope that this leads to even bigger things in the future!

[Baxter Smith]

Good for you! Well done!

[Rob Cunningham]

Congratulations and good luck Ken

[David Woodruff]

Ken, Congratulations, it as an honor for one's work to be immediately judged as accepted. I experienced the feeling at the "one of a Kind" art show held in the downtown Merchandise Mart, Chicago

Let us know how the sales go. I am seeking signs that people are spending money again. You received a well deserved honor for your hard work.

[John W Dixon]

Ken that is awesome! Let me know when your showing will be as the wife and I would like to come by and see. Congratulations!

John

[Ken Glass]

John,
I haven't got our picture yet, but I did ask Cheryl yesterday to email it to me. I will follow up tomorrow. I am working on some new pieces for Spfld, out of the burled oak I just got, and I will be displaying 6-8 pieces there until they sell, which I hope is not long. My contract is for 6 months starting 9-1-10, so I might just shift a few pieces there to start with and then add to them later, and see what develops.

[George Guadiane]

Here's hoping that this is your next step to full time turning riches!

[Jerry Rhoads]

Congratulations Ken
Hope you have a wonderful time.

[Michael E. Thompson]
