Attention Chalk Artisans!!!!!
Hilltop Event for YOU!
Remember when Lance won "Best Illustrator in the Universe (of Tacoma)" for his pinnocchio/RR piece?
The time has come to build his trophy, and YOU are invited!
Here's the details:
What: Chalk Artist Night at Hilltop Artists hot shop!
Where: Jason Lee Middle School Hot Shop, corner of Sprague and Division/6th Ave.
Come around to the back (where the B-Ball courts are. You will see two big double garage doors...that's us!)
We will be making Lance his "Greatest Illustrator in the Universe (of Tacoma)" custom made glass prize.
We will have light refreshments, demos by our talented production team and some cool folks to network with.
Perhaps a bit of hands-on (so to speak) experience with molten glass.
When: Wednesday July 9th, 5-7 PM
Please RSVP to:
Kathy Anderson, kanderson@hilltopartists.org
Spouses and SO's are welcome to attend.
I need a number to determine how much food to get, so let me know if you can attend.
C'mon...it's gunna be FUN!

 by NineInchNachos on 7/3/2008 @ 6:15pm | Thanks Kathy! |
 by Erik on 7/3/2008 @ 8:34pm | Sounds like a great event Kathy.
Each week, the frost park challengers have battled it out at Frost Park in a sort of Theater in the Round. Now we get to see the Hilltop Artists in Residence make trophy for Lance Kagey("Loves the MM Bridge so much .....") for prevailing in a Frost Park Chalk Off Episode. The expectations are high for constructing Lance's trophy which no doubt will be well photographed. We look forward to the event and the glass trophy produced. |

Afterwards, if any chalkies want to head back to Frost to clean last week's chalk, we could do that. (But that's another topic and another blog.) We're sure looking forward to this evening! |

by Dave L. on 7/10/2008 @ 10:28am | We owe YOU the thank you, Kathy! What a fun learning experience. It's so neat when you can also feel the heat. Yummy food, too. Thanks to you and the crew also for being so kind and generous to my little future glass-blowers. |
by droid116 on 7/10/2008 @ 12:25pm | Had a great time. It was my first time at the hot shop and it was fascinating. I have some pictures but will take a little time to get them posted.
