Did not escape work altogether though. Thankfully I took my laptop, because I get an email from Silicon Valley Open Studio to proof my information for the spring catalogue. The due date to submit changes would have passed by the time I got home. There were a few errors. They had me listed as a sculptor instead of a glass artist. That would have been really bad especially since there are only 3 glass artist showing this May. People would have been disappointed and my sales would have been compromised. Problem averted and I am home and have new ideas for the show and how to set up this time. I am on my site alone this year so the space is all mine.
There is a new feature with open studio this year. On sites with multiple artist they are offering people to be mentored by appropriate venue artist. Painters, fabric artist or potters for example may have a novice looking on and learning from an established artist. I offered even though I am alone because there so few artist working with glass. The rules were already set and they said my offer was understandable under the circumstances, but "no thank you." Maybe next time exception can be made if this happens again.
It is studio time again and when it stops raining I will be able to bring my work
