If I am honest I guess I knew (one only had to read the news from Italy) we were headed to closures and social distancing and and and... Maybe I was just still in denial as having never experienced anything like a pandemic before.<br />

Spring shows have been cancelled, some of my galleries have closed and I waffled about what to do in terms of my shop. Long story short, I decided to go ahead and put all the new spring work I have online. My shop will see a major update of new jewelry on Wednesday, March 18.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to gift wrap and ship packages to loved ones for those of you celebrating special events from "afar" this year. Handwritten notes, ribbon, the whole deal!<br />
<br />
But if what you really need is to talk, please feel free to email me. I'm a pretty good listener. We're going to get through this <i>apart</i>...but together in spirit.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I've chosen to show my recycled work because its something I'm really focusing on right now and lets face it, the topic of how we use and consume is more relevant than ever.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">What I've come to believe is that if we see plastic as semi precious, we challenge the destructive concept of single use (and disposable). Certainly polymer clay art jewelry can be a vehicle to help us change our thinking and thereby our actions. We wouldn't make a single use bag out of gold - why do it with plastic? </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
If you're in the Columbus area, I would love to see you at <a href="https://shopthesmithery.com/" target="_blank">the opening March 5 6-8pm</a>.<br />

I haven't spent too much money on my studio, preferring to solve my needs creatively, meaning...I used what I already had. The amount of time I'm now spending in this room made me realize that its time to make it all work better.<br />

I purchased some antique wooden boxes because I already was using some for storage, they are modular in that they stack, they aren't that expensive (for me, in rural Pennsylvania anyway) and no matter which ones I buy they will give me a visually cohesive look. I have some modern/new/plastic storage but I know when they start to fall apart (and they will) I won't be able to replace them and will have to be concerned with how to recycle them. (I have IKEA boxes that I really love but what happens when one cracks? Will IKEA still make those boxes?)<br />
<br />
Now, I'm not going to <i>completely </i>clean up because according to <a href="https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-messy-studio-help-artist?fbclid=IwAR13Lzpo49mH3_6VEBItdxga20HZuB4IY57_EvInbe1soQs8ySTqdcYmtGM" target="_blank">Austin Kleon</a> it will mess with my mojo.<br />

Dec. 4 my husband suffered a severe <a href="https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/acetabular-fractures/" target="_blank">acetabular fracture</a> - his pelvis and the socket of his hip joint being broken in four places. I cancelled my December show and our our life shifted gear to focus on his care for the 18 week recovery. Yeah. Five months.<br />

My show schedule will stay as it is (ACC Baltimore coming up next month) and what is in my shop is all ready made but limited meaning, what is there is all there will be for another month. While my husband is doing really well but his limited mobility means I am running the show around here and there are only so many hours in a day.<br />

We stayed just two blocks from the Convention Center and I had help the entire weekend which kept potential stress at bay. As always, making friends with neighbors at the show was awesome and I learned to much from talking to other veterans to the craft show scene. I know there is going to be some jealously (because I myself have been the one who is jealous) but for the most part, there is encouragement and camaraderie.<br />
<br />
And thank you so very much - I am humbled and grateful - to every customer ! You made my weekend! I am buoyed by your interest in and support of my work!<br />
<br />
Hope to see you next year Philly!<br />

<br />
I was born in 1968 in Baltimore, MD but grew up in a tiny Pennsylvania town, the eldest child of a high school art teacher and the most encouraging mother who thought I could do anything I set my mind to. (I think she secretly hoped I'd illustrate children's books and hey, there's still time.)<br />

I studied communication design and then <i>craft </i>(so thats ceramics, fiber, metal...) at Kutztown University. Next I started toward working toward an art education certification, got married...and found out I was pregnant.<br />
<br />
After 15 years dedicated to raising kids (3) and home schooling, I found myself with a bit more free time and stumbled upon polymer clay. Here I had found a material that was approachable, did not require a huge outlay in new tools, could safely be worked on with kids in tow and, importantly, with which I could take everything I had studied (see above) and apply it in someway. It provided me a very easy re-entry into what I liked to make, wearable sculpture.<br />

Although I continue to find the material compelling, I'm also slowly growing my studio practice to include more metalwork, recycled paper and other recycled materials.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in keeping up to date with my shows and new work you are welcome to sign up for my emails at <a href="http://www.genevievewilliamson.com/" target="_blank">my main website</a>. I only send about 1 or maybe 2 emails per month because I'm sure your life is busy enough and of course I never, ever share your information.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you at Craft2Wear Oct. 3-5!<br />

This is an invitational, wearable-only show and I'm thrilled to be included for the first time this year.<br />
<br />
You can find me in my spacious 15x10 booth, #37. That's A LOT of space for jewelry (standard booths are 10x10 or smaller in some cases) so my husband and I took over the dining room yesterday to stage a mock set up to plan how we can make the most of it. I'm especially considering how I can give one full wall to my one-of-a-kind recycled pieces. Here are some in infancy form...<br />

Craft2Wear is a more intimate sized show than say, ACC. You don't feel rushed and you have time to linger and really see what's in each booth...with plenty of the day left for a meal in the city and maybe some other sightseeing.<br />
<br />
Hope you can make it!Genevievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01896028363300392097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421953624531261502.post-39477824361876931122019-09-06T06:19:00.001-07:002019-09-06T06:19:53.742-07:00TGIFIn all honesty, I have had a rough week, replete with hurdles and failings, problems to be solved, mistakes to be amended. The comfort lies in knowing I am not the only person who has times that they feel like this. Bring the weekend! <br />

This sequence found me standing in the cold ocean water, fearing the fading daylight, fighting off mosquitoes. (A very wet spring has made for a bad bug situation in Maine this year.)<br />

The <i>in situ </i>pieces in this series of work act as an exercise in making peace with this concept - restriction in materials, time, even daylight in some cases. When working on these at the beach, high tide becomes my focus as each one brings with it a new set of "supplies".<br />

I met a buyer for <a href="https://www.artfulhome.com/" target="_blank">Artful Home </a>at ACC back in February and they recently started carrying a selection of my work. I can't recommend them enough (to other artists and shoppers alike).<br />
<br />
Their once/year site wide 15% off sale continues until Sunday. <br />

<br />
I'll sneak just a bit of "work" in with a delivery to <a href="http://www.kotcontemporarycraft.com/" target="_blank">KoT Contemporary Craft</a> in Ellsworth. I'm quite please they've chosen to include me as their jewelry selection is always top notch! Please do stop there if you're in that part of Maine (Ellsworth is the town on the mainland where you get off Rt. 1 to go out to Mount Desert Island). Highly recommended.<br />

These are images from our 2016 trip staying at the same cottage in Friendship, Maine. That was the year I started my "found" jewelry pieces.<br />
<br />
And to state the obvious perhaps, since I won't be here, I won't be able to ship anything. If you happen make a purchase next week though, please know it will ship just as soon as I can June 24 or 25.<br />

My favorite part about <a href="http://www.genevievewilliamson.com/tubes" target="_blank">this design</a> is that the wearer can chose different ways to wear the necklaces. Shift the necklace a bit around the neck or form a second loop and the joints between tubes shift and form different shapes.<br />
<br />
Quantities will be limited with these for now as I'm building stock for Ann Arbor Art Fair next month. So what is in the shop is probably all I'll have until the end of July.<br />

Artists, seen in the photos in all white, positioned themselves about 10 - 20 ft. apart from each other throughout the park in Reston (Virginia) Town Center. Each artist moved slowly, holding certain poses for a minute or more, responding in movement to the other artists within their field of vision. It was open-ended, almost like dance in slow motion.<br />
<br />
Spectators were encouraged to join and of course children did...because children "get it" and don't care who's watching. Yay for children!<br />

The most interesting part for me was that about half of the artist were disabled and either in wheelchairs or using some walking support. The sign at the entrance to the park provided further background...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<i>ON DISPLAY </i>is a deconstructed art exhibit/fashion show - a commentary on the body as spectacle and society's obsession with body image. People in the disability, performance </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and fashion world are often stared at and objectified in their daily lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reverting the gaze is integral to disability culture. In this installation, the performers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have the power to choose what they do or do not reveal, giving them control </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over a personal journey that cannot help but be affect by an audience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tenuous and complex relationship between viewer and viewed that exists in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
performative work also permeates everyday life for people who are different in some </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
physical way, and hence draws attention to them whether they want it or not." </div>

Sadly I won't be able to make it to the show but if you are on the West Coast June-July and can visit, I'd love to see it through your eyes. Conversely if you know a very inexpensive way to get across the United States that would be good too.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the first people to visit my booth happened to be Jeanne Adams, daughter-in-law of <a href="http://anseladams.com/about-ansel-adams/" target="_blank">Ansel </a><a href="http://anseladams.com/about-ansel-adams/" target="_blank">Adams</a>, and the person who now runs the family owned <a href="http://anseladams.com/" target="_blank">Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park</a>.<br />

Jeanne had been traveling for weeks and had various business stops to make on the East Coast one of which was ACC. We talked for quite a while on a variety of subjects (walking sticks, the future of the National Parks, oh and jewelry...). While I would definitely say Jeanne is someone who knows her own mind, she was also keen to have my opinion on what I thought might interest her shoppers and not surprisingly I found myself really liking her.<br />

These are something I've actually been working on since the beginning of the year but have just now gotten to the stage where I can put them out there.

The art room is a large, well lit space with big tables, a countertop with sink and a walk-in closet of ever changing supplies, mostly donated.<br />
<br />
To help the full-time mentors, I've agreed to find and prep projects for two groups of 4-10 students each when I'm there. (Pinterest is my friend :-) Group sizes change as there is an importance placed on outings - which I think is great - and any given day a number of people are out and about in the community going to the library, YMCA, shopping, lunch and so on.<br />

At first I just really wanted to get to know people and let them get to know me. Now 6 months in, I have a better gauge of different people's abilities and weaknesses. So I've put some art concepts and words out there. "Monochrome" was a big hit even if it didn't end up being monochrome because who in the world would only want ONE color and black and white when you can have them ALL? (Some people made true monochromatic paintings that were fantastic...and of which I forgot to take photos.)<br />

This blazing field of flowers is one of my favorite pieces produced so far. (I'm sure Van Gogh would have agreed.) I had suggested students use crayons for stems then dip their fingers in paint to make dots for flowers but John preferred to <i>blend. </i>And like most great art, his breaking of the rules makes this piece sing.<br />

I've made the selection as varied as possible but I can tell you the black/white/grey, more graphic ones usually seem to go first. Maybe they are the easiest to wear with everything/anything. Or maybe I do a better job with the design. I'm not sure.<br />

The response from customers was overwhelming. This show is LARGE (550 craftspeople this year) and with that much great work to see I am humbled and appreciative for each person who took the time to visit my booth. You were a great encouragement! And what fun to meet so many people I've only ever known online - I wish we had had <i>more</i> time to talk.<br />

Living fairly close to Baltimore meant that I had rotating help all weekend from my husband (who put in a great deal of time and effort) my niece, my son's best friend and my oldest friend in the world. (Not that she's that old, its just that I've just known her since I was three.) She snapped these shots of my booth later on Sunday when things slowed down a bit.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
The show runs until January 26 if you can make it.<br />
