I ran into three old artist friends (quite accidentally) in downtown Portland this afternoon. I worked with these three ladies (along with one other artist) at the Metro Transfer Station (aka "the city dump") during our artist residency program last year.  We gleaned through enormous mountains of garbage for six months, creating art with our finds in our own studios, and then having a group show together last September...oh, the memories!   The three of them applied for and received a new week-long residency this summer working at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts here in Portland.  I ran into them during one of their "Starbucks runs" and got to follow them up to their studio at the museum.

A brief description of their work this week from the museum's website:


"Part open studio, part residency, part master class, Museum of Contemporary Craft (MoCC) has invited consummate makers of all types to temporarily relocate their studios to the Lab for week-long terms, July 8 through August 4. Resident artists will work from the Lab during daily open hours, 11am-6pm, connecting directly with the Museum’s audiences as they engage in their creative practice. In addition, artists will offer daily two-hour, drop-in workshops for visitors of all ages to have access the materials, processes, and concepts of various crafts. The intent of the Open Studio summer residency is to provide a public venue for the work that often happens behind the scenes in the artist studio. We believe that this residency provides a wonderful opportunity to share publicly all the starts, stops, challenges, and inspirations that happen as work is created. Furthermore, we hope to provide a space for direct and open dialogue between creative practitioners and the community around craft-based ideas, practices, and processes."
