NW Anvil 1 : A survey of Contemporary Northwest Ironwork



curated by Lisa Geetsen and Andy Blakney


Opening Reception during the West Seattle Art Walk, November 12th, 6 to 9PM!. Show runs thru December 5th, 2009.


A compilation of contemporary ironwork by members of the NWBA ~ Northwest Blacksmith Association, curated by Twilight’s own, Andy Blakne and Lisa Geertsen.


This association just celebrated it's 30th year and has a membership spreading through Canada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and beyond. It is a group committed to the pursuit of education and preservation of the craft and many of its members have passed on their knowledge to others to create this large group of talented smiths. This show is a small representation of the membership, but it includes some of the most talented smiths in the Northwest and even the country.


FEATURING: Bill Apple, Elija Burnett, Paul Casey, Maria Christali, Jaden Fischer, Jorgen Harle, Steve Howell, Lauren Osmolski, Larry Langdon, Dave Lisch, Andrea Lisch, Nick Rinehart, Grant Sarver, Scott Szloch, Bart Turner, Mark Manley, Bruce Crittenden, Erica Gordon, Dean Mook, David Tuthill, Gary Eagle, Darryl Nelson, Lisa Geertsen, Andy Blakney


These people and the NWBA have been the largest inspiration to our pursuit in this art form and we wanted to share their talent with you. ~ Lisa Geertsen

Adios, PIKE PLACE MARKET!

DEAR FRIENDS OF TwAC,

We wanted to fill you all in on some late breaking, bittersweet, Twilight news. The 31ST of AUGUST is going to be the last day of Twilight's Pike Place Market store. We've given it everything we've got, and more, and it's just not rebounding from the recession fast enough to make it viable for us to stay open.

The effects of this economic slow down has hit Pike Place Market all over, and we're one of many businesses making a move. Thankfully we have our West Seattle Junction location to focus on! The Junction shop has weathered this storm extremely well, and we're very proud and lucky to have a supportive and dynamic community over there that supports Fresh Local Art.

The three of us are definitely melancholy over leaving Pike Place - it is after all where we got our start - but getting through these trying and uncertain financial times requires decisions made from a strong business sense and not emotional places. We are also working hard to make sure that anyone looking for Twilight post August 31st knows exactly where to find us. Please help spread the word.

LONG LIVE LOCAL ART!!!
Much love & appreciation,
Mary, Cheryl & Erin

Just a little peek at STOP! COLLABORATE!

Opens Thursday August 13th, 6 - 9 PM during the West Seattle Art Walk!

Each participating artist contributed one of their own "completed" pieces. After drawing names from a hat, another artist from the group then took the once completed piece to expand on it. You ask "..but, but will they respect the work of the other artist? Is this normal?" The answer is, "who knows".
