SNAG is GOING PRESIDENTIAL





SNAG presents an exclusive online auction being offered by the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG).
This exclusive event has 12 select works donated by current and former presidents of SNAG; some of the finest talent in contemporary art today. Auction closes Monday, Oct 11, 2010 at 1:11am PDT.

A little information about the auction:
  • Auction items encompass both hollowware and jewelry.
  • The pieces offered have a reserve price set modestly below retail. Why did we do this? To encourage bidding and to ensure that our auctions do not undercut the very artists we strive to serve.
  • Proceeds from the auction will help underwrite the design and launch of a members’ gallery of public portfolio pages on SNAG’s website, to promote the work of all SNAG members.

  • The auction will come to a close Monday, Oct 11, 2010 at 1:11am PDT. Don’t miss your chance to bid and win!

display

So I have been testing our our new CNC by making displays for my upcoming solo show. They are made out of particle board shelves. After cutting, the material is waxed and then polished. They look kind of dull in the photos but they are a semi gloss. These are all going to get donated to the metals department when the show comes down. Still plugging away. I will post the details about the show soon.

more CNC

So more work on the CNC. Developing a half sheet clamping kit. I can't take all the credit. I have to admit I stole the design because it was soooooo good (a la Matt King of VCU fame). Also we are trying to get our dust collector up and installed. The tube can't interfere with the gantry and also can't create any kind of stress on cutting. Unfortunately there is no where to hang the tube. I am thinking maybe an elastic cord or a pivoting system. Back to finish this thing up so I can get back to the studio and make my own work.
