DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT HARRY?
"I was attending San Jose State preparing for graduate studies in biochemistry as a second career, I filled an open period with beginning ceramic art. My teacher's name was James Lovera. Many classes followed with Jim and he eventually convinced me to change my graduate objective to ceramic art. My spouse and I are both grateful to Jim for becoming our lifelong friend and helping us find our way with pots."
DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT TARA?
"I usually print all my own work because I believe photography is a craft. By doing this myself, I am offering my viewers my craftsmanship. There are sometimes flaws and imperfections in the prints, but that is part of the craft. And even if I am printing a duplicate, even on a digital printer, each one is individual- just like in darkroom days."
COME DOWN TO 2ND SATURDAY AND MEET THE ARTISTS IN PERSON!

Speaking of heat, I recently discovered a new show on Netflix titled, "BLOWN AWAY." It showcases the art of GLASSBLOWING. I have always been intrigued by this art form and this show brings you up close and personal with the the "heat" of this art form. The creations are spectacular.
When the day gets to hot to be outside, I recommend this as bingeworthy!
Get out of the heat and into the fire!

The flame that is naturally clear always gives the most light and heat.
If I could blend my talent for poetry and music into one, the light would burn still clearer, and I might go far.

–Sonnenstrahl
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These simple shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art. These patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called "tiles." We call them tiles because you can assemble them into mosaics.
Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. There is no up or down to Zentangle art. If fact, you can most easily create Zentangle art by rotating your tile as you tangle -- always keeping your hand in a relaxed position. You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps. The result is a delightful surprise.
As you use the Zentangle Method to create beautiful images, you likely will enjoy increased focus, creativity, self-confidence and an increased sense well-being.
