SpinOff Studio Goes to Auction!

If you are a patron of the arts you probably already know that this week is The Harlow Gallery’s Silent Art Auction. You can already get a sneak peak on their website were you will see amazing works of art in stone, ceramic, watercolor and much more.  The artist of SpinOff Studio and Spindleworks are excited to add a collection of 18 x 24 prints to the mix. This is a great opportunity to support Harlow Gallery and be the first to purchase a SpinOff Studio 2012 Print Portfolio! There are only eleven complete portfolios to be created and this will be number ONE. Each portfolio already contains four prints. The portfolio will be added to with more limited prints throughout the year. If you are the lucky individual to place the winning bid then you can stop by and collect your prints or we will save them and place them in a portfolio to be picked up in December 2012.

PRINTED PORTFOLIO

Printmaking and making multiples has always been a goal for Spindleworks and SpinOff Studio. It might be the beauty of printed matter, or that we often race to purchase the latest amazing image, either way we are excited to add printmaking to our list of skills.

The artists here at SpinOff Studio and a few from Spindleworks have already started pulling some knock out images in multiples. The portfolio is growing and we are planning to offer a portfolio of prints in the near future.

Keep checking our printed portfolio page see new images post as we add to the SpinOff Studio Print Portfolio.

Lunch With an Artist

Scott Minzy

Where: SpinOff Studio, 184 Water Street in Hallowell
When: Wednesday, February 22nd Noon to 1:00pm
Cost: FREE (but don’t forget your lunch!)

SpinOff Studio and Spindleworks are teaming up with Harlow Gallery to create an exciting series called Lunch With An Artist. This is a great oppurtunity to get inspired and get to know your local artists all while having lunch. SpinOff chose Scott Minzy to kick off Lunch With An Artist for many reasons. The first reason being Scott is an amazing artist and we all want to know what is really going on inside those prints he makes. In addition Scott is part of the Kennebec Valley Artist Association and also a past Artist Mentor at Spindleworks. So join us for the first Lunch With An Artist and see what Scott Minzy is up too.

*This is the first in a series of talks called Lunch With An Artist. Please keep your calendars marked as we continue to bring Lunch With an Artist to you every fourth Wednesday of the month. Please check out the following links to learn more…

That is just one of the few things artists like Tom do so well. Whether it’s making a drawing, a painting, or silk screening an entire village we are pleased to make Hallowell part of the Spindleworks community.
