A Gloat; I Guess :-)

[Jim Shaver, Oakville Ont]

Hi,

Well, some of you that know me know I am mostly a flat worker but I do turn a lot of pens, so this is fun news for me. I recently approached a local gallery in Oakville about my work, they agreed and I am now in a gallery , Whoo hoo!:)

The gallery is located in an area that gets a lot of local drive up and walk up traffic, on the main street in our town. They presents works by artisans from around the world, including a small group locally. The gallery displays works such as paintings, sculpture, glass, fabric and pottery, and, now some of my pens.

I have no idea how things will go but it's a fun experience to have your work accepted like this within a broad group of other works.

Kinda think I have a few pens to make this weekend...LOL :D

Congrats Jim. From what I've seen of your pens they will just fly out of there.

Congratulations Jim! Now your challenge will be to keep the gallery stocked. I have a feeling your work will fly out of there.
