In 2009, James Michael created 10 RED pieces. On January 15th, 2010, the color ORANGE debuted at Visceral Gallery in Centerville. Over the next five years he will create 10 more per year from each color of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). And as a challenge, if any single collector purchases one from each color over the course of the seven years,  James Michael will create an eighth piece for the collector, a combination of all the colors of the rainbow.

This annual series of 10 hand blown works is each unique and created expressly for local PBS auctions. Check back to see which piece is up for bidding and when!

Why do we make them?
We are honored and pleased to be able to provide PBS this series of works. It has long been my policy to make donations of works to non- profit organizations doing outstanding work. So when asked to donate works for PBS, it seemed like a great idea. That was in 1999 and with the help of my talented associates; I have produced 10 works each year since then to continue the tradition.

The Bonus
The day after one of the first auction items sold, I received a phone call from the purchaser who asked if she could stop at the studio on her way through our part of the country. A few days later, I had the opportunity to meet that early buyer who proceeded to buy quite a few more works - a quick and immediate conformation to us that supporting PBS was not only the right thing to do, but a good business decision too!
I hope you enjoy our upcoming creations and encourage you to support your local PBS station by purchasing items from their auctions or by simply making a donation directly to your local station.
