Watch potter Eric Landon throw a vase from the clay’s perspective - SO COOL!!!
Check out the artwork of Ola Shekhtman! Shekhtman creates rings depicting the skyline of Paris, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Berlin, Hong Kong and many more using various materials from bronze and silver to gold or platinum!
Bread is a universal food and the art of baking bread is different all around the world (and is completely fascinating)! Check out this video of a bread maker in Transylvania! Looking for something to do this weekend?! Why not go for a wintry hike, cross-country or snowshoe adventure on the Sandwich Notch Road! This incredible 14 mile road was created in 1803 and crosses through two notches and three watersheds. During the nineteenth century 40 families made their home on this road but today only foundations and graveyards remain. There are dozens of amazing hikes that will bring you to waterfalls, lakes, mountain views! ADVENTURE!!!
Anthony Howe creates enormous kinetic sculptures that are powered by wind or motors and cycle continuously through hypnotic motions. They often resemble something between the tentacles of an octopus and an alien spacecraft and weigh up to 1,600 lbs! Check out artist Lucea Spinelli! She utilizes chairs, swing sets, and park benches as backdrops and props for luminous forms that seem to bounce effortlessly through the frame. In some pieces the light mimics the pathway of ghostly human figures while in others it sparkles like fireflies or expands like a rainbow. SO COOL!!!
Check out artist, Miquel Vallinas' work. Vallinas uses photographic portraits of wildlife as a starting point to construct fictional wardrobes that he imagines each animal might wear if it were dressed as a human. Love it!
Standing Tallby Jamie McKenzie
In honor of Martin Luther King Some kings rule their kingdoms sitting down Surrounded by luxury, soft cushions and fans But this King stood strong stood proud stood tall When the driver told Rosa "Move to the back of the bus!" When the waiter told students "We don't serve your kind!" When the Mayor told voters "Your vote don't count!" And when the sheriff told marchers "Get off our streets!" using fire hoses, police dogs and cattle prods to move them along This King stood strong stood proud stood tall Speaking of peace of love and children hand in hand free at last free at last When some yelled for violence For angry revenge An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth He stood his ground Preaching peace And when some spit out hate He stood there smiling Spreading love Until it rolled like the sea across the land Sweeping away Jim Crow Breaking down the walls Ringing the bell Joyfully For Freedom Until Standing on the mountain top They shot him Coldly Hoping to see him fall Hoping to put him away To bring him low But this King even in death even today stands strong stands proud stands tall And we remember by Jamie McKenzie |
