Rene wants you to know:
The Hastings gallery is open to the public for three days BEFORE the opening reception--Oct. 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I will be there all three of those days (from 12:00 to 5:00)--so all are welcome to come on up and I will give a personal tour of the show.

Rene Is in 2 shows
Dear fellow potters,
I just wanted to tell you about two shows that I am participating in at the present time:
— I am in a group show at BWAC--down in Red Hook--right near Fairways. I have a larger space than usual and I have set up 5 figurative sculptures. It looks like a mini solo show surrounded by a larger group show. Come see. It looks great!
— I am participating in a group show in HASTINGS, NEW YORK at a pop-up gallery. The organizer and main exhibitor is Ruth Berelson. She has just turned 90, and decided that a wonderful birthday present (to herself) would be a show of her latest (and possibly last) works. She has chosen 10 of her students and 'mentorees' (that's me) to join her in this exhibit. Ruth chose all of the work that she wanted each one of us to show in the gallery--so the pieces may not be the most recent ones, but rather--ones that Ruth loved and ones that she thought would all work well together. Since most of these 10 exhibitors have shown in solo or group shows, the work is of very high caliber. The show should be a delight! The OPENING is SUNDAY, OCT. 6th (1P.M.—5P.M.) at the pop-up gallery--541 Warburton Ave. Hastings, N.Y. Hope to see you there!
best,
Rene

Ikebana class
From Barbara Cahn
Hi
- I've been speaking with a friend, Elizabeth Berry, who is a certified
teacher of Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) about the idea of doing
an Ikebana demo with our group next spring.
I'm proposing it now to see if there is interest from the group.
This past spring she did a demo with a group of potters
in Lorton VA, where people brought in their pots, and she created
Ikebana arrangements in them. She has sent me photos, which I can
forward to Sabina to post on the blog.
She likes to see the pots before she buys the materials, so we would have to arrange that.

Health Care Survey
From Ed:
Message
Tue Aug 27, 2013 4:45 pm (PDT) . Posted by:
"Association of Teaching Artists"
The Future of Music Coalition, the Artists’ Health
Insurance Resource Center and Fractured Atlas are conducting a survey of
US-based artists about their access to health insurance. They are
gathering data in order to be able to better inform artists of their
care options under the Affordable Care Act. (More at: http://futureofmusic.org/ article/research/artists-and-h ealth-insurance-survey)
Please help us get the word out and share this survey with your
network of artists! This is a critical moment to capture baseline data
from US artists about their access to health insurance – the last day to
participate is this Saturday, Aug 31.
ARTISTS: do you have health insurance? If not, why not? Nonprofit artists advocacy groups are conducting an online survey from July 17 – Aug 31 to assess how many US-based artists have health insurance on the eve of the Affordable Care Act. These results will contribute to a body of research that aims to provide artists with accessible information about their care options.
Click here to participate in this brief survey:
http://www.research.net/s/ artistsandhealthinsurance
All answers are anonymous and confidential, and the survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. We urge you to participate so we can really understand the health insurance needs and priorities of the artist community. Survey closes August 31.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Show
From Ellen Reznick
I
saw a spectacular show today at The Stux Gallery in Chelsea at 530 W.
25th St.
The artist is Kathy Ruttenberg who sculpts in clay and combines
human and animal forms to tell dream-like stories which are provocative
and touching. Her mastery of the material and her color sense is
impressive and beautiful. I thought of Viola Frey's work but Kathy has a
unique vision which needs to be seen to be appreciated. The last day of
the show is Saturday so try to see it ASAP.
