Packer-Schopf GalleryHoliday Open-HouseSunday, December 12th from 2 – 4 pmPlus a show, sale and mini-concertfeaturing the cigar box instruments of Diane SutliffPacker-Schopf Gallery942 W. Lake St, Chicagowww.packergallery.com
Diane --your builds are amazing--your work is precision....I ought to eek (?) out a workspace, and likely confound myself, because that would lead to needing materials, tools, etc.......for now i take delight in letting my eyes appreciate the beautiful pics!
do you have a web shoppe, or were the sales limited to the gallery? That must represent a years worth or better of building?...
We saw that storm on the news!!! ........you guys are tough! .....:-) That's great Diane,...you might have to make it an annual (starting in the summer?)
glad too your works found homes/hands! :-) super, on all accounts....I'll check back for pics, later.
Thanks, Laurie Lee! Despite the blowy, snowy weather we had a great turnout, magnificent performances (pop tunes on the uke, Black Sabbath on the 3-string, distortion electric, and old-timey tunes on assorted instruments. We lost one act in the snow, but he promises to perform next time -- and there will be another one, since this one went so well! Aron Packer, gallery owner, was really enthused!
Plus I sold a big handful of instruments -- a bonus!
Hope it was a huge success and a lot of fun Diane!!!...we will all want a report, you know:-) I went so far as to imagine myself on a train to ChiTown..LOL
