INTRODUCING...

This has been a week of introductions, some really great ones and some not so great. I am going to choose to skip any negatives and focus strictly on the positive, very cool happenings here at Creative Genius...so here goes...
We now carry the incredible work of two very talented wood artists who came to me through a customer recommendation (thank you!) and whose work is incredible. They are Andy DiPietro from Burlington, N J and Philip Hauser from Hainesport. These two gentlemen were not only generous with their showcase of incredible hollow forms as well as natural edge vessels but also with their time. Both were very forthcoming with information about their craft, which is always very exciting to me because I truly love to learn about how all these talented people I work with do what they do. Both are involved with the Delware Valley Turners and you can visit the website for that organization at www.del-val-turners.com. I think those of you who get a chance to visit and know your fine craft will be impressed by the superior quality work produced by these two men.

Also new on our agenda is a studio/gallery expansion...more information on this new and exciting event coming soon but we should have some new and exciting things to roll out to our clients around mid-January.

I would also like to formally introduce our newest addition to the Creative Genius fold: our new Painting and Drawing teacher, Andrew Pell. Andrew comes highly recommended and we are all excited that he has joined us. Look for him in Children's Drawing and Painting on Wednesdays from 6-7pm and in Adult Drawing & Painting on Wednesdays from 7-9pm. Welcome aboard, Andrew!

Lastly, all you ladies out there need to mark your calendars for what is sure to become a holidays tradition. On Wednesday, Nov 28th we're hosting a ladies night from 6-9pm. It's a great chance to complete your holiday wish list registries, enjoy complimentary refreshments, enter drawings to win prizes and enjoy a jewelry trunk show featuring Michele Grady. We'd love to see you there so get your friends together and plan to be here.

Well, that's all for now...stay tuned for more exciting happenings and at the very least, more blogging from me.
