It’s getting to be prep time for Art in the Pearl! And it’s easy to get involved.
This is one of the premier art events in the Northwest, with close to 50,000 visitors coming to Portland’s Park Blocks over Labor Day weekend.
As in the past, we’re honored to be invited to demonstrate sculpture LIVE for the enthusiastic crowd.
Raku ceramic firing, orchestrated by Russ Ford and Nathan Laquaye, is always a star. Ceramic masks are made in advance and bisque fired, then the makers glaze their pieces on site and see the final firing.
Says Nat Partna, one of the organizers for PNWS, “It’s a little different this year as we’re hosting mask-making workshops at the Vancouver Art & Music Festival in August. Then those masks will come down to Portland in September to be part of Art in the Park.”

It’s a great time to get out there and get to meet new people, educate people on sculpture, and interact with the community.
