I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it\, but during my working career making time for art seemed a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color\, design\, and texture\, it was a great stress-reliever\, an outlet for my creativity\, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs\, I was constantly admiring the work created by the glass artists there\, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right\, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul\, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning\, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancelation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.

There was a grudging acceptance that when May rolled around\, one had to decide whether to stay or leave the Old Pueblo for the summer. Historian\, Ken Scoville\, will discuss summer routines developed around sleeping outside and enduring and evading the heat like all desert dwellers must do. Travel before the railroad arrived in 1880 was especially difficult given the physical hardship of the crossing and the ever-present possibility of an Apache ambush. George Hand’s Saloon Diary provides a first-hand (pun intended) account of the distinct way of life in the summer including his first encounter with ice cream in 1870’s Tucson. Everyone had to come together to get through the summer while having some fun along the way! Although masks are no longer required at Tohono Chul\, masks are encouraged at this class per our instructor’s request.

We are witness – in macrocosm or microcosm – to the effects of time in slow dissolution or methodical accretion; cautionary tales to join what this place used to be with what this place will become. The voice in between\, the creative and artistic resolve\, is a current toward the odd and wondrous grandeur of The Exotic Sublime. \nwith \nPERMANENT COLLECTION | NEW PERSPECTIVES\nselections from the Roy J. Kurtz Collection of American Indian Art\ncurated by Phil Davis | Tohono Chul Exhibits Dept. Volunteer \nTohono Chul’s Permanent Collection started in 1986 with a donation of sixty-five objects from the Estate of Mrs. Robert Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was the mother of Dick Wilson\, Tohono Chul’s founder. Today\, with the recent gift of The  Roy J. Kurtz Collection of American Indian Art\, the Permanent Collection has grown to over 1000 objects. This installment of Permanent Collection | New Perspectives features Apache\, Akimel O’Odham\, and Tohono O’odham baskets selected by Guest Curator and Tohono Chul Exhibits Dept. Volunteer\, Phil Davis. \nand \n10 x 10: A FUNDRAISER\n10 x 10 is an invitational exhibition with the many artists who make Tohono Chul‘s galleries such a unique experience. 10 x 10 features a wide range of sculpture and paintings\, prints\, photographs\, and mixed-media works no larger than 10 inches in any dimension.
