A Traditional Holiday Critique

I arrived at the Studio this evening for the January critique night to find Molly hard at work on making more of her birds, and this lovely spread of tasty treats from Mary, including some special egg nog.

We had 11 artists show up tonight, with 9 of us bringing art. A little bit of all of it can be seen above. I had the current boardwalk block, and also sought some opinions regarding my upcoming international collaborative piece.

Molly put up dozens of her birds, strung on threads across the Studio. Below are sculptural pieces from Adam and Jane, paintings from Edy, and a photo from Tim.

At the end of the critique half a dozen of the artists participated in a gift exchange. All the gifts were handmade art, small works pretty much in the medium of each artist. Some pieces were coveted by more than one participant, but everyone walked away with something nice.
