GOOD CHANGES AHEAD FOR KLINGER STUDIOS

After two years, SPRINGS GALLERY in Yellow Springs, OH, is closing its Kings Yard location on December 30, 2012. We are changing our name to KLINGER STUDIOS and moving to our new location - just 2 beautiful miles from the village! We'll have galleries and workshops, and we'll only be open for events and by appointment. We'll keep you posted here and on facebook. So please click to follow us on this blog, renamed klingerstudios.blogspot.com and/or on facebook. Our other sites, klingerart.com and klingerart.blogspot.com, feature artwork and activities of Christine and Jim Klinger, the artists in residence of KLINGER STUDIOS. Our phone, 937-409-5047, remains the same. Thanks for your virtual visit - and stay in touch!

Sea Glass Wire Wrapping a Hit!

Here (at left) is a photo from our most recent Sea Glass Wirewrapping workshop taught here by Catherine Wicks. And, shown in the preceding post below, are others photos from 2 more workshops we had here at the gallery this month. We hope folks will take a short drive in the country and enjoy a quiet, peacefull art-filled afternoon as we make our transition to KLINGER STUDIOS. Stay tuned (or better yet - sign up to follow us). Enjoy!

Classes Galore!

I admit I've been amiss in posting to this blog - I've been busy with sales, workshops - and life! On that note - here are some pictures (2 from the 12/1/12 workshop and 3 from the last one, on 12/2/12. Students learned how to make a sea glass and crystal necklace and bracelet set. A good time was reportedly had by all! Note: There's a nice little story here too: the last workshop we did, on 12/2/12, was a secret birthday gift from a local man (Nick Gaskins) to his wife Cris - owners of Bing Design in Yellow Springs. He (Nick) rounded up 4 of Cris' friends (all sworn to secrecy) and they just showed up here and gave her the surprise. Giving the gift of art - and what a nice gift it is! Stay tuned for more classes - and more big gallery news - in the days ahead. Enjoy!
