My next show will be the Fountain Hills Great Fair, February 26–28, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., in Fountain Hills, AZ, in the greater Phoenix area. Two weeks later, you can visit my studio during the Tucson Open Studios Tour, March 13 and 14, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. The Tucson Museum of Art Spring Artisans’ Market follows on March 26–28, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., at the Tucson Museum of Art (140 N. Main Ave., in downtown Tucson). If you want to see my work at another time, please contact me to set up an appointment at my studio or at Flux Gallery. If you wish to drop by Flux to chat with me, I will be working at the gallery February 9, 16, and 23. Feel free to come by, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In May, I will be teaching two seminars at the Utah Woodturning Symposium; details to come. The symposium will be held May 6–8 (Thursday–Saturday), at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Ben McNitt, who does the “Artistic Tucson” blog for the Tucson Citizen, recently posted a story about me on the blog. Please feel free to comment on the post; apparently, comments boost readership! A link even appeared briefly on the msnbc.com Local News feed.

The October 16 opening of Flux Gallery was a huge success, with hundreds of folks turning out to celebrate our new venture with us. The new gallery, located in Suite 136 at Plaza Palomino (at the southeast corner of Swan and Fort Lowell Rd. in Tucson; in the former home of the Mardon Frost Gallery) is a collective effort with fellow artists Steven Derks, Peter Eisner, Shirley Wagner, Karen Dombrowski-Sobel, Bryan Crow, Maurice Sevigny, Lee Roy Beach, and Carol Ann. The show will be up through the holidays, so come on by. We are taking turns staffing the gallery, so you can learn about the work directly from the artist on duty. Our hours are Monday–Friday, 11 a.m.–4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., to coincide with the weekly art-and-farmers’ market. In December, along with the other merchants at the plaza, we will be open on Sundays as well, 12–4 p.m. We are also open by appointment; call Bryan at 403-2751 to set up a time, or, if you would like to meet me there, email me or call me at 760-8938.

My work-for-sale pages are sadly out of date. I am hard at work in my studio making new vessels for my upcoming shows and will update my site as soon as I can get to it. Please be patient with me in the meantime.

Until my next show (see “News,” above), feel free to contact me at any time to arrange for a private showing of work, at my studio or in your home. In addition, I continuously have pieces for sale at Flux Gallery (Plaza Palomino, at the southeast corner of Swan and Fort Lowell Rd. in Tucson) and at Más y Más gallery (24 Tubac Rd., in Tubac, AZ). I have temporarily withdrawn my work from the Tucson Museum of Art gift shop but will replace it with other work shortly.

I can also share my work long-distance, via webcam. All you need is a relatively fast Internet connection and an instant messaging service such as Windows Live Messenger, AIM, or Skype. You do not need a webcam yourself. Email me and we’ll set up a session!
