Pi Party
December 8th 2-4pm
It's been 3.14 years since we put the front door on the gallery, and you know what
that means...it's time for a Pi party! In celebration of all things round, follow
the polka dots in the alley, and come enjoy some pie.
Special 3:00 puppet performance by special guest puppeteers "Pushy Puppet Pushers
Productions" with their show "Jacob's Treasure".

Ethan Gilsdorf and Ted Weesner, Jr.
December 14 7-9pm

Journalist and poet Ethan Gilsdorf (left) and novelist Ted Weesner, Jr.
read from their works on Friday, December 14, 2007, at 7pm, at
Willoughby and Baltic. The event is free and open to the public.

Both are Somerville residents, and 2007 recipients of Artist Fellowships
from the Somerville Arts Council/Mass Cultural Council. "We're thrilled
to be supported by the Somerville Arts Council," said Gilsdorf. "This
reading is a way to let the community and the city know what we've been
up to this year." Weesner will be reading an excerpt from the novel
he's presently working on, "Left Prague For Good." Gilsdorf's
book-in-progress is a memoir/travelogue called "Escape Artists: One
Man's Quest to Find Reality Among Role Playing Freaks, Online Gaming
Geeks, Fandom Addicts, World-Builders and Other Dwellers of Imaginary
Realms."

Kiln Rental!
We knew this thing was used for something other than making pizza! T urns out...
it's a kiln.
We now have a Skutt electric kiln capable of firing up to cone 6. Luckily,
it came along with our resident cermics and porcelain expert. In the
next few weeks, we'll determine the cost of electricity for a standard
firing, and we'll let you know about kiln space rental costs and
classes.
