Pearls to Dremels - Black Dresses to Tool Belts !!
GRZYB, Frick and Faust!!!

With each phone call I really have to switch gears quickly!! The workshop phone calls and reservations are coming in - Yippiee!! Workshops are always something I have wanted to feature here at the Gallery and now "Signature Studios" is finally happening. I am however realizing that this too is taking it's own direction, just like the Gallery, based on the needs and desires of the customers. The classes I thought would book up really fast has not received one phone call - shows you how much I know???
There have been several surprises along the way.
#1 How professional and organized some of the Artists are with their workshop program formats. There is a lot to do to pull a class together, teaching is a whole new avenue for many Artists, especially being on stage, then comes being organized when most Artists just want to hide and be creative.
#2 The support of Dremel Tools - Dremel being one entity of the worlds larges tool manufacture conglomorate Robert Bosch Tools, I really did not expect to get much of a response but, they are wonderful!!! Starting with a real live Customer Service person that was so very helpful I have spent time talking with Corporate VP's, Regional Sales Managers, and a very determined Local Representative whom has spent many phone call lining up a great opportunity to offer Dremel Workshops here in Eureka Missouri!!!
Bosch Tools which owns Dremel, Bosch, Skill and Roto Strip would like to offer this type of program for all their tool lines. For $20 a class, this is great for Dad's and Sons - Mom's and Daughters - Dads and Daughters - Moms and Sons. If you are interested in something new check out the Workshops and Classes tab located to the right under Photo Albums. We will be adding new classes regularly, keep checking back or call if there is something special you would like to see us offer.
This Spring has been fabulous!! It is great to see the familiar faces of repeat customers stopping by to see what is new. The Grzyb, Frick and Faust Exhibit has really added to the change in seasons. During the recent Missouri Artisans Association (the Best of Missouri Hands) conference I met several new Artists whose work has been really fun to sell!!
This coming Friday (April 9th) our Reception for Grzyb, Frick and Faust should be a lot of fun. The Artists will be here to demonstrate their talents, Ed Belling and Marion with Pikn'Likn' will be here for great music and laughter, and of course beverages and snacks . . . . stop by for a visit . . . . the weather is going to be PERFECT!!!
The Grzyb, Frick and Faust exhibit is a benefit for the ANIMAL HEALTH FOUNDATION - Dr.Donald Walsh - finding a cure for laminitus, a fatal equestiran disease. Each Artists has donated a very special work of art to be raffled off at the end of the exhibit.
Raffle tickets are $1 each!!!
