Each of the 10 pieces will be auctioned off at a different PBS station across the country. Click on the links below to see the pieces at each station. Each station has a different bidding schedule - check each below for the date of the live auction. Note, some of the stations do allow pre-bidding! https://secure.nhptv.org/auction/detail1.asp?pid=103461 PBS Blue Series 2008
What are they? The PBS Blues are an annual series of 10 hand blown works, predominantly blue in color and each unique in form, created expressly for local PBS auctions. Why do we make them? We are honored and pleased to be able to provide the PBS Blues series of works for this our 8th year. It has long been my policy to make donations of works to non- profit organizations doing outstanding work. So in 1999 when asked to donate works for PBS, it seemed like a great idea. With great pleasure, the first group of 10 individual works were completed and donated to PBS that year. It might have been a one-and-only event, if not for what happened next. 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! Another decision was made then and there: PBS would receive our support in the future. That was in 1999 and with the help of my talented associates, I have produced 10 works each year since then to contine the PBS Blues series. Soon we will celebrate our 9th anniversary of working with PBS by creating the PBS Blues series for 2007. Each piece as it is produced will be shown here on this web site - coming soon. I hope you enjoy our upcoming creations and would 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.
