President’s Message March-April 2016

From the President…. 
Carl Nelson

The program and registration for out 29th Camp Brotherhood Symposium is up on the website and you can now register. Senden Blackwood (New Zealand), Georg Schmerholz, Deborah Wilson, Tamara Buchanan and Ruth Mueseler will be there to instruct, talk about their work, visit old friends and make new friends. Check it out and think about entering the sculpture walk. The economy has turned around and many of our members are experiencing sales at their galleries and shows. The management at Camp B has asked about helping to promote the sculpture walk.

Also this year, we are making an effort to reach out to the sculpture instructors and their students around the country to introduce them to our symposiums. If you are an instructor or know of someone who teaches, or a student who would benefit from attending one of the symposiums, please contact me (carl@quo.com) so I can talk with you about the symposium, available scholarships, and work study.

Another opportunity you should put on your calendar to attend (and to show your smaller pieces) is the one day “Picnic in the Park” in Volunteer Park in Seattle on June 12th. It will be a change to picnic and party as well as talk to the local folks. Watch the website and Facebook for the call to artists.

Also, we hope to be repeating the Occidental Park First Thursday Art Walk event. This event is still shaping up and we are hoping to have a demonstration carving booth. Email CyraJane (cyra@carvestone.org) if you would like to do some kind of carving demo.

Lakewold Gardens will be displaying large pieces from April to September. If you are in the South Tacoma area, drop by and check out the gardens and NWSSA member’s work.

We are looking to schedule workshops this coming fall. I’ve already has a request for Pat Barton’s polishing workshop nd his working wet workshop. If there are workshops you would like to attend, please drop me a note. 

Learn Much, Share with Many, and Carve Proud

… Carl
