I’ll be participating in SWAIA’s Winter Showcase starting this Friday, November 27 and continuing until Sunday, November 29 at the Santa Fe Convention Center. I’ll be bringing some glass, as well as beaded bracelets (pictures below, and please don’t ask me if the one bracelet is of Custer, it’s not).
For details about admission, hours, early bird shopping and more, please visit SWAIA’s website at www.swaia.org.
A new exhibit, A Song for the Horse Nation, opened November 14th at the National Museum of the American Indian in NYC.
It features a kiln worked glass horse mask by Marcus. You can learn more about the exhibit and see the piece by visiting the exhibit web site here: http://www.nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/horsenation/index.html
Marcus and Preston Singletary will be a part of the “visiting artist” program at the Museum of Glass in Washington state November 11-15.
From the Museum of Glass web site:
Marcus Amerman is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and creates works using traditional beadwork techniques infused with his own style of stitching beads into realistic, pictorial images, rather than patterns. Tlingit tribal member Preston Singletary will join him in the Hot Shop to collaborate on new designs.
This residency is presented in conjunction with Singletary’s exhibition, Preston Singletary: Echoes, Fire, and Shadows.
On November 15th, Joe Feddersen joins them for a panel discussion at 2 pm.
