Juried In

Bill Grumbine, Kutztown PA

>Good evening all

I have just returned from my first formal jurying process, and I am now officially a juried member of the PA Guild of Craftsmen. I have been involved in several show juries in the past, some of which I think juried my wallet for the entry fee more than anything, but this is my first with no immediate result other than a piece of paper I can hang on the wall. I am only juried in the local chapter, and only in turning. If I want to be juried state wide or for furniture, that is another process altogether.

Not only did I get into the guild, but I am pretty sure I landed a commission to build a blanket chest for another artist who wants to paint it for her son who is getting married in the spring. Now that is some real business!

Great news Bill!

Dominic Greco in Richboro PA

>Bill,

Wow! Congratulations! That is really great news! Does this mean you'll be showing at the Tyler State Park Craft Fair in November? Thats the Craft Fair I've always wanted to have a booth at.

I'm still in the process of getting my stuff in line to get juried. The photography part is my bottle neck.

See ya around,

Dominic

>Thanks everyone, for your kind words. I felt like a little kid last night waiting for the verdict. As I was packing up, I saw every flaw of every piece, and it was a real effort to realize that they were not all that bad.

Chuck, most of the five pieces involved have been posted here, some recently, like the locust burl bowl and the ash vase. I will have to get some pictures of the others if I do not already have them.

Dominic, I have to investigate that show, as I do not know who runs it, but it is a possibility. It is definitely that type of venue though.

John, the lady who is thinking about the chest is actually a fractur artist. Fractur is a PA Dutch art form involving lots and lots of painted tulips and distlefinks (birds), fancy scrollery, calligraphy, etc. It is often used for birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other official papers like that. This guild is interdisciplinary, not just woodworking.
