Getting GASsed, finale
June 22, 2008
I wonder if there’s a word for “beyond exhausted?” I’m certain there are words for “beyond contented.” Pleased. Delighted. Charmed. Enchanted.
Yep, those work. So…the Portland 2008 Glass Art Society conference (mostly) ended last night, and I’m pleased, enchanted and plumb wore out.
Learned a great deal, got all kinds of energizing ideas for new work and validation (or redirection) for work in progress. Viewed up-and-coming products like kiln controllers and extruded shelves, lamination services and lighting systems. Saw more tattoos than I’ve ever seen outside a sailors’ bar, including some that were every bit as much works of art as the stuff hanging on gallery walls.
