In February 2020 I sat down with Rachel Reichert, a multi-skilled craftswoman/artist whose practice primarily focuses on metalsmithing, but also extends to include photography, sculpture, and community engagement. Rachel co-runs The Atlanta School, an art workshop which happens in the remote (almost) ghost town of Atlanta, ID. She runs Studio Reichert, and is the Cultural Sites manger for the City of Boise's Arts and History Department. Rachel is a very industrious and busy woman who takes her love of art with her wherever she goes.

Located in the mountains above Boise, with their studio and fabrication shop next to the house they met in over 30 years ago, Kat and Harry spend their time creating fantastic works of art. Kat starts with a block of wet clay and creates flowers, leaves, bugs and dots of various sizes. The shapes go through a multiple glazing and firing process which leaves the tiles impervious, brightly colored and finely detailed. Harry cuts, shapes and welds steel into patio tables, coffee tables, end tables and wall frames, all designed to accept Kat’s mosaic tile designs. After Kat lays out the design, the tiles are glued and grouted with epoxy grout. If the item needs to be shipped to its new home, Harry builds a custom sized wooden crate to ensure it arrives safely. I hope you enjoy watching this couple work as I did!

In January 2020 I sat down interview with the highly community involved artist Karen Bubb in Boise, Idaho. Karen has been an active artist in the Boise Art Scene for many years, as well as being the Cultural Planner for the City of Boise. I was lucky enough to get a few hours of her time to talk and watch her create. Karen's willingness to work with me and take a chance on letting me put together a video of creating art in her space helped me to show later artists what I was putting together. Thanks for taking a look back at 2020 with me.
