I had intended to announce the reopening of the shop here on this blog first, but posting on twitter and facebook seems to have done the trick of getting the word out. I will list a few more pieces, but pretty soon I am going to have about as many orders as I can handle.
I want to share with you one of the reasons for the art sale.
As many of you know, the Hatke Clan lives in a rambly old farmhouse, and rambly old farmhouses tend to need a lot of care and work. There is an outbuilding on our property that we call "The Shed" though it's a little bigger than what you'd commonly call a shed (it has its own chimney). The Shed looks like this:
The inside is very unfinished. We use it mostly for storage of outdoor tools and for the deep freezer. My Spring Dream is to turn The Shed into a finished workshop. I want to create not just a drawing studio but a real Maker Space, with good lighting and a workbench and tools for creating three dimensional art. The Shed is a small space, but it has more floorspace than my current upstairs office.
So if you've bought art from me then you've brought me a step closer to making this workspace a reality and I thank you.
