your takamori-inspired ceramic artworks are ready!

You can pick up your pots on the security and parking level. They are on a table beside the kiln, and you can ask Irene or Derrek to show you where they are. (or me)

 

They have been fired at a high temperature which makes them quite hard, and you can paint them in this state.

another docent gone...

I am sorry to tell you that Ginny Streetman has decided to leave the Tacoma Art Museum docent program.

In case you are wondering, we will probably (this is very unofficial) be recruiting and training a new group of docents starting September 2006. We need to reinforce the ranks!

 

Thanks for everything you do.

Docent Needed: Sunday, April 9 from 12-4

Can anyone do a docent shift (or trade a shift) on Sunday, April 9 from 12:00 – 4:00 pm?

Kris O’Leary will also be in the galleries as a docent.

This shift does include tours at 1 and 3 pm, as advertised.

 

April 9 is the weekend of the Garden Club Show, so I think it will be busier than usual and two docents would be best.

 

We don’t expect you to be in the galleries, on your feet, for the entire four hours! Please feel free to take a break whenever and wherever you need it – in the ARC, the Untitled Café, the Museum Store, or outside the museum. Just let Visitor Services know where you are, and they will find you if someone requests a docent.

And I will always contact you if there is a tour or other event for which you are needed at a specific time. Otherwise, it is completely up to you to decide when you are most needed and how long you can manage in the galleries.

 

Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.

 

Thanks for your time!

Can anyone do a docent shift (or trade a shift) on Wednesday, April 26 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm?

 

Due to the expected popularity of Great American Thing, it is important that we try to have docents available for all shifts.
