Moving Along...

Well!
The last month has been as busy as the weather has been crazy! Elfworks finally has a roof to work under...well, a tarp, but it is on a sturdy frame that will develop into a beautiful home for the forge. And although the original design changed a bit and it is a heavier construction than was originally imagined, it is a fantastic workspace that can break down to be setup as a booth if the length of the show warranted it...Thanks so much to Colin for all his help, skill and HEIGHT - which is my biggest challenge as we all know!

Within the next week the dates for the summer show will be posted. There is a lot to work around, so I'm not as set on them as I'd like to be, but the show will be great...it always is.

The barest of bones of a site for Not Just A One Trick Pony is up and running and will be updated and recreated as time goes by. Our list of artists is very inspiring and still growing and changing...it will be an exciting show! Remember to mark your calendars for September and come check it out!

Elfworks is also looking at hosting an online art auction to raise funds for Not Just A One Trick Pony, as well as a "pick-a-prize" auction at the Elfworks Summer Show. If you are interested in contributing goods to the online auction (you can specify a minimum bid and the proceeds will be 50% to the contributing artist, 50% to the art show) or know someone who is interested please contact Kelly at elfworks@sympatico.ca. Anyone interested in being involved in the show or looking for more details should also drop me a line. Thanks to Darrell for the fantastic idea and to David for nudging me in the direction of auctions while we were at GLII.

Gearing up for the Grave Goods show is also underway...the objects being contributed by Elfworks are going to be a big focus of the next two months, and the list of contributors to that show is incredible. For anyone who didn't make it to Out of the Firey Furnace, I seriously suggest going to the Wareham Forge site and taking a look at the objects that were part of Firey Furnace. Some of the most incredible pieces, really. And a number of the artists from Firey Furnace are taking part in Grave Goods...it promises to be an amazing show. Again, mark your calendars for September and take a daytrip out to Woodstock to check out the show!

If all that is outlined above isn't enough to get you excited about what's up and coming, keep checking back for info as things start to gel. Be sure to drop a line to notjustaonetrickpony@gmail.com to get on the mailing list for that show and check out our websites regularly, or find us on facebook under Elfworks Studios or Not Just A One Trick Pony.

Enjoy the sunshine and revel in the rain! Happy summer all.
