It’s hard to believe that tomorrow will mark one month since I arrived in DC to begin my 6-week internship here, working with artists to develop a deeper understanding of the day-to-day life of a professional artist. Only two weeks left and then I will leave this unique artist’s haven. But wait! I have been invited to extend my stay until the end of March to continue my work with this truly special group of artists.
You can help me extend my stay. Tim Tate has very generously donated four of his cast glass hearts to give as donor perks to the first four people who make a $200 donation. As I mentioned in a previous post, the 4″ x 2″ hearts are elements that Tim makes for his larger glass sculptures. He does not sell these elements. Mr. Tate is well on his way to being a part of glass art history – if you are a fan, this is the only way you can own a Tim Tate that doesn’t cost many thousands of dollars – Don’t. Miss. This. Chance. A HUGE thank you to Tim for his donation to the apprenticeship project.

Later this weekend I will post a summary of what I have done/experienced/witnessed so far on this journey. Want to see all of the project posts? Right here. Stay tuned – next week I will be adding audio to several slide shows. Very cool.









Most awesomeness that you have been invited to stay longer. I think it rocks. I would so dearly love to help support your apprenticeship but since we found out a couple of days ago that Karen’s job may disappear if the Fed budget cuts include the “Workforce Investment Act”, we are cutting down on any out going money
