About the Artist
|
Woven Time Information Woven Time Inc. was established in 1995. At that time the company was in the embedded software consulting business. Software is a lucrative business but requires the employees to commute and travel to client's locations. At the end of each project the company made money but had no real assets that the company could grow on. There was a growing desire among the officers of the company to change directions. Polymer clay art was a hobby at the start and was enjoyed as a past time. But as the crafts/artistic skill increased the polymer items became marketable. In 1998 small shows were attended to sell and test the market with polymer art items. There was enough success that the experiment was continued in 1999. Woven Time then extended corporate coverage and added the polymer arts and crafts as one of the parts of Woven Time. In 2000 Woven Time made it biggest presence in the arts and crafts scene in the Silicon Valley area by attending many large shows. Woven Time was committed full time to the polymer clay side of the business in 2001 and the software side was phased out. In late 2002, our oldest son joined forces with us. His interest in sand blasted glass has expanded the range of work which will be made and displayed by Woven Time. Woven Time uses original artwork on the glass. In December of 2003, Susan received a small kiln, expanding her creative endeavors to fused and slumped glass. The response to the fused glass, the interplay of color and light, the spontaneity of making the images quickly led to full time focus on fused glass. The marketing focus was aimed at establishing wholesale accounts, and limiting the number of shows.
Farm Information Woven Time's mailing address is a P.O. Box but the physical location is in north Monterey County in a rural area of California. The studio is located on a four acre lot and shares this space with many different animals. The four acres is always referred to as "The Farm". The farm information and news updates is a way for people who know us or have been to visit the studio to keep up to date on what is going on. Web surfers who just arrived here, may read information that is odd, but if they return it will come to make sense. Typically this "farm" will have chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, sheep, goats, llamas, exotic birds and of course the allotment of dogs and cats. Throw on top of all that the patch called the garden and you get a good idea of the farm. |
