Cachete Hird- Assignment #2

The Art Walk-In was something I never seen before, I absolutely thought it was amazing to have these creative people in one place, musicans, magic, different artists with different crafts. It was a nice experience to go to this event. My friend and I loved the food that was there too! I learned that Harry's Grille was going to have a new chef who is excited about the expansion taking place. The community played a big part with sponsoring this event and I pretty much liked everything about it from the balloon animals to the woven bags.
The basement of the Exchange, first I thought looked like a Retro Bowling Alley. It was amazing since I had no idea that it existed. I loved the bowling pins that were decorated in different ways. My favorite was the purple and green one that looked like it was in a showcase, or something. It was really pretty. There was another one that was mosaic, with different pieces of marble and such. The other one I liked was the bowling pin that was split in half and had the marbles inside. It looked like it would be a retro like pin dish! I loved all the different displays in the bowling ally lanes but those were my top 2 faves!
One of the artists whom I spoke with was Abigail Smith Kurecian. She is a potter and produces different things like mugs, bowls, canisters and coasters... etc. It was such a great experience to speak with her about her work. I fell in love with one of her mugs she had on display, funny because the other day I realized I wish I had a bigger one, and there on her display she had the perfect mug I wanted! She started working with clay when she was young during Saturday morning classes at her local in high school. When she was in college she started working with clay again. Her pottery had many different color schemes that made it looks so attractive, she told me how she has a background in painting and illustration. She was very influence by everyday colors and lived in Arizona for many years which influenced her work. I actually purchased the mug I saw this weekend. its awesome to have a product I seen at the Art Walk-In and have met the artist!
