so tomorrow will be my second lession from bert meister...the local blacksmith and metal smith...just across the street from where i'm living. the business has been in his family for three generations...and he's not sure what's gonna happen next so he decided to teach some classes. it's a nice shop with a couple of anvils. the goal of the class is to make a damascus knife...
i was telling durk about this amazing jazz quartet that i happened upon last year when i was here....and then last sunday i found that they were playing a concert at the "bimhuis" in the museikgebouw...this amazing concert space on the north sea canal behind central station that is a cantilevered room with one wall that is all glass and looks over the city. above is a bit of an improv by Narcissus...this time as a quintet.
ugh it takes way too long to upload to blogger.
so the rest will be youtube links.
anyway. there are tons of amazing things happening...been doing a lot of welding projecs, organizing durks workshop, cleaning the rain gutters(no small feat...you should see them...i fit inside them), lots of biking.
spend the the afternoon at the rietveld academy...gonna spend a a day a week there helping out in their glass department. as well as getting to know the campus and students...cause i have aspirations. lots of jazz as above...if you look closely you can see the train passing in the background.
glassblowing gonna start tomorrow...working with scott benefield and his fiance andrea to produce material for a large architectural installation for a hospital in ireland.
then there is this...there are amazing machines for everything in holland.
