4th Annual ECU Symposium Material Topics: Making Marks

Gosh it feels like just yesterday Laura Wood was planning the first symposium!

Here it is 4 years later and ECU graduate students have carried the torch.  This year my good friend DJ is running the show and she, along with the rest of the grads and undergrads have a super awesome weekend planned.  This year's title is Making Marks and I think that is very applicable to what is happening in the field.  So many new and up and coming (as well as veterans) metalsmiths and makers (whatever you want to call yourself) have created new opportunities, techniques and methods of working on their craft.

I'm really looking forward to being a part of the symposium and attending.  There is STILL time to REGISTER for the symposium.

Awesome poster! 

I'm so impressed with the roster of workshops and discussions...can't wait and I hope to see you there!

DJ Lestat is BACK

I've sorely missed my old DJing gig at WZMB 91.3 and I'm so happy to say that I'm BACK this summer to DJ!!!  I'll be on the radio Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-5pm beginning next week.

In honor of returning I give you Jack White's single, "Sixteen Saltines", from his new album Blunderbuss.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more tasty musical treats!

setting up for Preyed Upon

Last night I started setting up for the show with several awesome and generous volunteers; DJ and Andy Denton. Andy really saved me for the show, he's the master at setting up for exhibitions.

So...if you are in the area, eastern NC come out and see this amazing exhibition, tonight 6-9pm at Art Avenue 212 East Fifth Street. We'll have venison stew too!
