A new art raffle at Arrowmont!

This time the artists in residence at Arrowmont are holding a raffle to fund a catalog of the Residents' Exhibit at the end of the residency year. They have a modest goal of $1,250 and have already met 20% of that amount. Each of the residents is already accomplished in his/her medium and each has produced an original and well-made piece for the auction. Click on the links to see a close-up image of each item to be auctioned.

Andrea Moon's figure of stoneware, slip and fiber can't quite look you in both eyes:

Shawn O'Connor's stoneware teapot appears to have been kissed by the fire in the wood-fueled kiln: http://arrowmontresidents.blogspot.com/2010/08/shawn-oconnor-teapot-wood-fired-stone.html .

Jennifer Wells has made her copper bowls with patina glow from within by lining them with gold leaf: http://arrowmontresidents.blogspot.com/2010/08/jennifer-wells-golden-bowls-copper-gold.html

Just as the sign says, you get one ticket for $5.00 and five tickets for $20.00. It's an opportunity to pay a small amount for what could be a big reward. And even if you don't win one of the works of art, a catalog of their final exhibit will make winners of these four residents providing documentation of an event that lasts only a month.

You have until 1 PM on Friday, August 6, to purchase your chances to win one of the pieces made "before" a year in the Tennessee mountains changes the vision and experience of these artists forever. Git 'em while you can!
