Coming Up ~ Fall Art Shows!
October 17, 2014
Flying by the seat of my pants to catch up, I stayed outside too long with my camera. Now I’m buried in my studio working as fast as I can producing new art glass home decor, jewelry and garden art for upcoming fall shows. The first is our first – the inaugural White Salmon Fall Art Tour takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 24, 25, 26 from 11am until 5pm. Downtown White Salmon. One week from today! We have an event page on Facebook with our map and more information.

In other news……(sorry my gardening friends, it’s all about work this time of year for me!)
Opening the First Friday in November, I’m producing work in my other kiln for…..
… a gallery show titled ‘Snow’ at Columbia Center for the Arts. It opens the First Friday in November with a reception from 6 until 8pm and runs through the end of the month. I’ve created a series of ‘Snow’ Bowls in my ‘Celestial Series’ tradition and will offer my iridescent art glass snowflakes.
Between those two events I’m delivering work to the NEW Holiday Pop-Up Shop in Hood River at 301 Oak, formerly Gallery 301! “Locally handmade gifts for everyone on your shopping list.” It is open Fridays and weekends November – December and open every day the week before Christmas from 10am until 6pm.
There’s more in November, but for now I am dashing madly toward my studio! Hope you’re all having a wonderful fall. You can see many photographs I’ve taken between my last post and this one on my Facebook Page, Steider Studios. Mostly of wildlife along the Columbia, at Conboy & Ridgefield Wildlife Refuges, Lyle area and more….
Thanks to YOU for a Successful Studio Sale!

My Annual Studio Sale is Coming Up!
March 31, 2014
My annual studio sale is coming up on April 11, 12 & 13 in the hills above White Salmon Washington. I’ll open my studio for three fun-filled days along with 40 other artists juried into the Gorge Artists Open Studios. It’s the only time ALL my work is unpacked and displayed in one setting. Enjoy a stroll through my garden on your way down to see my photography and art glass in my little cabin.
I just ordered new metal prints and all occasion greeting cards from my nature & landscape photographs. My kiln has been reloaded with MORE art glass garden art. Last night I finished cold-working new earrings and bracelets. I have a feeling I’ll be finishing them between guests as there’s still so much preparation left to do!

If you’re in ~ or will be in ~ the Pacific Northwest, I’m happy to send you directions, just send me a message.
Until then, I’ll be scouring out my studio & unpacking all my work to show you!

My Annual Studio Sale is Coming Up
March 27, 2013
My annual studio sale is less than 3 weeks away. Kilnformed art glass (including garden art!) and Nature Photography will be displayed throughout my little cabin in the woods.
The invitations went out yesterday. To be sure all my glass looks its sparkly best I scour out my cabin, clear the winter cobwebs and even wash windows to let warm sunlight wash over each piece. I’ve been clearing out my garden so you’ll have a lovely walk down to my cabin. If only my little spring flowers will hurry up and bloom so you’ll see color on all my paths.
If you plan to join me on April 12, 13, 14 and need directions, send me an email – linda at steider studios dot com.
I have a limited number of complimentary maps that will lead you to all the other artists on the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour. If you’d like one reserved please let me know right away.
In addition to the flurry of preparations I’m still in my studio producing more! Ladybugs are flying out the door from my solo show at ‘The Nook’, as well as buggettes and wall pocket vases. I’ve replaced my work several times, because it goes home as its purchased.
This is the last week to see my show at The Nook as well as the Preview Show for all the artists participating in the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour. Columbia Center for the Arts is at 215 Cascade in Hood River.
Hope to see you here for my studio sale on April 12, 13 and 14.

Who Scheduled this Dance Card?
November 27, 2012
My Dance Card overflows with holiday shows this year. Last weekend I was at the Soroptimists of Mt. Adams Shopping Extravaganza in Hood River. Next weekend is two shows in two days. You’ll find me at Mid Columbia Medical Center’s Holiday Show in The Dalles Oregon on Friday, November 30th from 10am until 4pm. Held in the Medical Office Building behind the hospital, you’ll find something for everyone.
Then Saturday, December 1st I’ll be showing my work along the base of Mt. Adams at the Trout Lake Holiday Show. We’ll be inside the Trout Lake School multi-purpose room from 10am until 4pm. If you’re in the area, stop in to see my work as well as my fellow (very talented) artists!
I have hundreds of new earrings that are in the final stages of finishing. Today I worked on glass star and snowflake ornaments because my stock is too low, but hoping I can finish more earrings because they are SO FUN TO WEAR and I know you’ll love them!
The following weekend I’ll be in Portland Oregon, Friday & Saturday December 7 & 8 at Multnomah Arts Center in the Gym with Left Coast Artists Collective. A very cool group of artists, I’m thrilled to be juried into their show. You can see images of all the artist’s work on their Facebook page. Please check them out, like them & share their postcard with your friends if you’re so inclined!
Let me know you follow my blog and I just might have a little surprise for you!
