Ironstone Vineyard's 23rd Annual Spring Obsession Art Show is off to a great start. Theme Division entries are in with letters going out to accepted artists later this week. Accepted artists will be delivering their original paintings to Ironstone within the next several weeks, giving the Kautz Family and Marketing Department time to view the originals and decide which will become the Winner and promotional poster for the Obsession Brand for 2020. The winner will be unveiled at the Food & Wine Pairing event on Opening Saturday, March 7th. Best to make your reservations early as this event always sells out.
If you are an artist or know an artist, panic not! You still have plenty of time to get those Open Division entries in. Due date for these is Saturday, February 1, 2020. You most certainly can get them in earlier. Already, many beautiful submission have come in ready to be reviewed by the two review panels. Once accepted into the show, Open Division art works stand a chance to win one of three prizes. First place, $1000. Second place, $500. Third place $250.
You may download your entry form from the OPEN Division page above, email cgomez@ironstonevineyards.com for a pdf of the entry or go online to Ironstone's website, www.ironstonevineyards.com and enter there.
Opening weekend, March 7 & 8, accepted artists have a unique opportunity to set up their own booth space inside Ironstone's Alhambra Music Room to display and sell more of their originals, prints or other handmade art projects. Visitors will have the opportunity to see a broader range of each of the artists works and styles. Artists are on hand to answer questions, demonstrate their techniques and provide a one on one experience for guests. A rare opportunity for all to share and explore art.

Just in! Here at Ironstone's Heritage Museum we are celebrating the newest arrival from Artist June Vaughn.
This beautiful piece is thrown on the potters wheel with Brooklyn red which is a heavily iron saturated clay. Carved with spaces for the four beautiful cabochon stones the wet clay lends itself easily to June's careful and artist touch.
This piece is graced with 4 valuable polished stones which include an ocean jasper, poppy jasper, crazylace agate and a dendrite agate.
After the bisque and glaze firings the pot is painted and the stones are set in place.. the artwork carving, painting and design is done by June Vaughn . The throwing is done by Rob Sorrin.
This piece is available for purchase at Ironstone Heritage Museum, listed at $585.
