Craft Forms

Thankfully the snow held off long enough for us to make a trip to Craft Forms on Saturday. Its at the Wayne Art Center, not far outside Philadelphia just off Rt. 30.

I was especially excited to see my internet friend Gail Baar's work in person. Her statement resonates strongly with me and I think you can probably see why we are drawn to each others work.

Notably there were two works in polymer, a necklace by Ford and Forlano and a brooch from Jeffrey Loyd Dever. But what Kyle and I both felt we enjoyed the most was simply the wide array of materials and techniques represented. It made for really interesting viewing and reading - metals, clay, paints, papers, fibers, staples, pine needles wool, scorched wood, resins, magnets, glass...antique bear fur.

The show runs until January 26 if you can make it.
