A likely follow up to IS Day could be a trip together to Gathering of the Guilds on Sunday the 30th, and certainly the PNWS Member meeting studio tour/potluck at Julian Voss-Andreae’s that evening at 7pm.

Member meetup and Studio tour March 29

On March 29th at 7PM we will meeting with Patrick Gracewood at his studio located at 4920 NE 55th Ave – Google Maps.

Recent relief sculpture by Patrick Gracewood.

Patrick describes himself: “As an artist, I carve space, materials, and time. For over twenty years, I designed and created architectural ornament for new buildings and restored historic terra-cotta facades. This professional work influenced both philosophically and technically my own fine art.”

You can see some of his works here Sculpture, Bas Relief, Fine Art, Wood Carving – Gracewood Studio and watch a video about one of his works which is part of the trolley trail https://vimeo.com/308802097
