We have arrived in Washington, D.C. and, as you might expect, we are having a blast! We are now with all the kids and grandkids and debating which part of the Smithsonian we want to see today. On Thursday we went to visit a friend of Julies, Margaret Hluch, who is a wonderful artist with woven artwork. Her husband, Kevin, works with clay, but all free formed and no wheel. They have this marvelous place in Frederick, Maryland that was a dance hall and entertainment center for blacks. Ike and Tina Turner performed there. The building was left abandoned for decades and was pretty well destroyed when they bought it, renovated it and made their studios downstairs and their marvelous home upstairs. You will see pictures of their work and one picture of Julie, Ingrid, and Margaret. This is amazing art! You can also see the molds Kevin uses for lids and trays. Many of them came from China. We had a great day here!
