Update #5: Exhibition and Pick Delivery of Your Artwork

Posted on September 2, 2011

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for your support of my work and my trip to Denmark.  Because of you I was able to have a tremendous experience, make some wonderful developments in my work, valuable connections and begin to exhibit my work internationally

A large showing of my work will be part of the featured exhibition at Red Star Studios from September 2nd through October 28th.  You can view the exhibition online at

http://www.redstarstudios.org/shopping-cart/current-exhibition/september-2011.html

I have selected my gifts to thank you for your sponsorship, and if you live close to Kansas City they will be available for you to pick up at Red Star Studios during normal gallery hours 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Saturday.  Please let me know when you plan to come by the gallery and I would love to meet with you to share my experiences and talk about my work

For those of you who are not local I will be shipping you your gifts very soon.

 Thanks again!

 Bowie

Update #4: Finished Work!

Posted on December 10, 2010

I updated my blog with some great new images. The most exciting are some pictures from our show that just opened last night! I came up with a really wonderful new method of display that is very nice for my sculptural works.

Also, the wood/soda firing I led was excellent. Everyone's work came out stunning. It was a thrill to unload some of my best atmospherically fired work so far from home!

Please check out my blog for more images and a description of my new work:

Thanks again for your support! I hope to see you soon when I get home!

Update #3: Work Preview!

Posted on November 19, 2010

Hello from Denmark!

Your support is greatly appreciated.

I am nearly halfway through my residency and have been working very hard. Here is a special preview of the work that I have been creating. I have not yet posted these images on my blog, but there are lots of great pictures from New York City and Copenhagen! www.bowiecroisant.wordpress.com

The first images is a vessel created using a roof/sky line contour to generate the form.

The other images were items molded from found glass objects. I found the pyramids just before leaving Copenhagen. They happened to be almost the exact dimensions of a shape that I had previously envisioned using. Finding them has enabled me to get going quickly and experiment with a familiar new form.

And! please send me your address to my email so that I can mail you a card! bowiecroisant@gmail.com
