Speeding Bus
Open letter to all South Coast Trawler readers:
If you haven’t noticed the posting to the Trawler has been very erratic for the last two weeks. That’s because I had a sudden and unexpected attack of gall stones. Not to be too dramatic, but this was the “speeding bus.” I never saw it coming and it hit pretty hard.
Writing a blog is blind business; you make up a new post each day and wait to see if anyone is going to read it. From time to time people send in postings they want to see go up so you know that they are watching, but beyond that it is hard to tell if you are reaching anyone.
Try missing a few days and the response will shock you, it did me. Distinguished artists, prominent galleries, teaching studios, folks who ought to be far too busy to bother have flooded the Trawler inbox with words of support and encouragement.
And in the end, I am back at the keyboard pecking out one more post (Okay not just one more, but the sound was better if you say one.)
And this post is a great, big, happy face to all of the artists and merchants who sent in their kind words and best wishes. Thank you one and all, I cannot express how much this meant to me and my long-suffering, lady wife, who has had the worry and chores to deal with while I lay like a beached jelly-fish.
The South Coast has the most cohesive, supportive arts community in Oregon. It means a lot to be a part of that community.

“Art As Improvisation”
Sage Place announces a special workshop, “Art As
Improvisation,” taught by California artist, Sas Colby,
on September 30 & October 1st in Bandon, OR. Sas Colby is a
master teacher with forty years of experience exhibiting
and teaching art.
“Art As Improvisation,” a fast paced workshop, will lead
participants through a variety of exercises designed to
jumpstart the creative process. Colby believes it’s
necessary to get the mind out of the way to allow the
artist’s true potential to flourish, so for the first 3
hours her students are immersed in a dizzying world of
materials and directions that lay the groundwork for
exciting art making. On the second day of the workshop
participants will be guided in creating individual works
based on the techniques and concepts presented the day
before. These could take the form of artists books, or
drawings or paintings.
While the techniques taught include drawing, painting, and
sculptural concepts, the emphasis is on getting to the
essence of the art making impulse. Colby also teaches
participants how to talk about their art intelligently,
introducing critical criteria to elevate and encourage
dialog.
Sage Place director, Anne Sobbota, says this is a rare
opportunity for local artists to work with Sas, whose
workshops usually take place in exotic locales such as
Mallorca, Spain; France; and Taos, New Mexico. Her
workshops are highly valued as breakthrough experiences by
their participants. For more information on the art of Sas
Colby, go to http://www.sascolby.com
For information on the workshop, “Art As Improvisation,”
contact Sage Place at: (541)329-0303 or
