CHAIR-ITY

Tony Risucci  Student Artist Collaborator on the BEE CHAIR

 Take a Seat!! Our  Bee-Chair for Chair-ity is Ready for Action!!

( I really shouldn't be blogging this late)

Furniture design isn't my usual genre, so I enlisted the help of some talented student collaborators. Toni Risucci of Watertown and Emily Wilcox of Naugatuck, graciously contributed some of their handiwork to the Chair-ity project. Local artists and designers were asked to donate a chair of their choice for a fundraising auction to benefit the Waterbury Youth Service System, Inc. The theme was up to us. So it is no surprise that a particular pollinator was bound to show up in the design:)! The Cocktail Reception and Chair-ity auction will be held at the Country Club of Waterbury on Friday, May 11th,2012 from 5:30PM- 8:30 PM.This seating extravaganza will be on view in prominent  business locations in the Greater Waterbury and Litchfield areas before the May 11th event.

  Among the other talent asked to participate in this auction, is our own local art/designer Wendy Osborn. Can't wait to see her creation! Wendy is the owner of Vintage Visions which  currently operates out her home-based studio.Wendy does both hand-painted accessories and restoration of vintage furniture. I stole some work from her FB page to give you a glimpse. A website is coming soon, which I'll post in the future.
