My First Gallery Feature

[Matt Hutchinson]

Well, it's been a crazy couple of months, with some long hours and many frustrations, but I'm proud to announce the installation of my first gallery feature. It's taking place at a local "high end" furniture store which has a gallery where they showcase a different artist's work every two months.

Here's a terrible picture. (It's actually much brighter and gallery-like in person.) I hope to have professional shots posted by the end of next week.

Now time for some rest!

This is one of the better gallery presentations of turned objects I have seen. The pieces are really presented as art. Very nice!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Congratulations and best wishes to you, Hutch! You do beautiful work!

Wow Hutch, that looks fantastic! I still favor your really tall vase over everything. I just love that huge vessel! Hope you sell a bunch....for a bunch!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very, very, very nice and well deserved! Congrats Hutch!

Great display layout and looks like a nice variety of forms. Hopefully you are in a market that you can get what its worth.

[Tim Rinehart]

Hutch, You do fine work...congrats in getting others to recognize it. Good luck with sales and future hosting.

[Chris Burgess]

Wow Congrats. Those pieces are amazing but I cant believe the tall one in the back right of the pic. that is crazy. From what I see this was well deservered and long over due.

[Billy Tallant]

That display looks very nice. That tall vase really grabs your attention. Good luck with the sales....

[Russell Eaton]

The display is ALMOST as nice as the turnings. I hope it is a big hit. By the way, the vase is incredible.

[Tim Thiebaut]

Congrats Matt, that is fantastic! I love that very tall turning in the photo, that must have been an adventure to turn something so deep, well done.

[Matt Hutchinson]

Thanks all! I will keep you updated with better photos of the individual pieces and of news of any sales. I too hope that I don't bring many pieces home. :D
