Been tied up celebrating the finished construction of my studio,
but wanted to let the group know the Pinnell workshop at Stephen Hill's
Red Star Studio in KC October 9-10 was well worth the drive and the fee.
The exhibition of Pinnell work continues, I believe, till the month's
end. Wonderful pots! Pinnell is a veritable walking encyclopedia of
ceramics information, and freely shares all he knows. Seeing how he
constructs his work was really illuminating.
Hill's recently opened studio in downtown KC is a real asset to the
community. He and his spouse, a fiber artist, have done a admirable job
of refurbishing the former bakery into a fully equipped ceramics
facility, including rental spaces, gallery, etc. Everything was
immaculately clean, and the overall facility was bright and spacious
feeling. That particular are of KC seems to experiencing an artistic
rebirth. I predict his Red Star will be smack in the center of a
artistic hot spot! His business will be hosting other workshops in the
future.
The Pinnell event was a big success in my eyes, and I recommend
those in the KC area avail themselves of Hill's excellent facility!
