This coming weekend: November 12+13 2011: we will be having another Open Studio event at our arts building in historic Bridgeport CT. Forty artists and fine craftmakers will open their studios and exhibit their work and their work-practices in our century-old lace factory, and this is only one part of a larger Bridgeport Arts Trail going on that weekend (read some media coverage of the event here). Believe-it-or-not, our dusty lil post-industrial town features not one but three very large art-space buildings, and there is some fantastic work to see (and hear…). After you’ve come by to listen to some of my Recycled Champs, the Model 22277 hi-fi amplifier, and my latest development in all-tube mic preamps (w/ ancient RCA 76 tubes), be sure to check out the work (and amazing studio) of the photographer Tom Mezzanotte, world-renowned quilter and textile artist Denyse Schmidt, and all the odd characters that have assembled in this strange+semi abandoned place that we call BPT. If you’re lucky, you might even get to commission some print-on-demand work from my wonderful wife E., who will have numerous print-publications of her work for sale. Details and directions below.
