Enamels, Decals, and Richmond, CA - Part 1

6/23/2014

2 Comments

 
On June 2, 2014, I journeyed up to the Richmond Art Center with Mary Luke for a 5-day  'Radical Enameling' workshop with Andrew Kuebeck. This workshop was the first in a series of radical enameling workshops put on by the new Center for Enamel Arts, founded by Judy Stone. It was well worth the time and money to take a class beyond the basics of enameling - doesn't seem like there are a lot of those available.
I don't want to bore you with the details of the trip... however the details of the trip aren't boring, so I'm going to tell you anyway!

For our first stop along the way, Mary took us to the Rosie the Riveter Museum in Richmond. It was awesome! So thoughtfully done and very interesting. Definitely worth checking out.

After the museum, we went to check into our hotel, The Hotel Mac, in Point Richmond. Point Richmond's 'downtown' area is about 4 blocks big and very cute. We went to the 2nd floor to check in with Gloria, our first interesting person we met in Point Richmond. We had told her that we had just gone to the Rosie the Riveter Museum. Oddly enough, she told us that she had been a riveter during World War II in Los Angeles. What are the odds of running into a female riveter after going to the Rosie the Riveter Museum?! Coincidence? I don't think so!!

We loved Gloria, she was so interesting. She told us so many stories that I had to make a video with her. She'll be 90 this year and I do hope she writes that biography!!

After we loaded all our stuff into our hotel room, which was actually a brand new suite with a kitchen. We figured that we had enough time to get something to eat before we went to Andrew's lecture at CCA in Oakland, so we went to a tapas bar nearby to eat.

We enjoyed our tapas and sangria, then went about 2 blocks to the lecture. We climbed lots of stairs to get there... we knew we were a little late so we weren't surprised to see people already listening to Andrew's lecture. After a few minutes, Mary realized that the present slide said 'Thank You' and proceeded to guess that we had just missed his entire lecture. She was right. At least the tapas and sangria were good!

Ok, that's it for Part 1. I know a lot of you are waiting for the decal information... don't worry it will be in Part 2. Just enjoy the ride!
