Artistic Encounter

It's been a great, relaxing day! I went with the PTA ladies to the home/studio of a prominent Czech artist. We had a tour of his home, which is more like an art gallery, a very nice lunch and then we were able to paint our own glass dish. He's going to fire it and I should get it in a week. Of course, my "vision" for my glass dish looked much better in my head then when I actually put the paint on the glass, but maybe the fire will work some magic on it. He has really crazy "functional" art (i.e. furniture, dishes, lighting, etc.) You can take a look at his website if you're interested: www.manto.org The most interesting pieces are these giant 10 foot tall chairs -- you'll see them on the website too. I think they were for sale, but I just didn't think they'd "fit" (quite literally) in our quaint little 109 Willow Avenue home!
