A Virtual Visit to Richard Royal's Studio!
This is the time of year we usually take a group of collectors to Seattle for an exciting and educational week of visiting artists in their studios and hot shops. The times are challenging us to make the most of the technology available, and we want to continue our mission to educate about the artists, the history and the medium of glass. Seattle artist Richard Royal has graciously offered to take us on a virtual tour of his studio and share a bit of his history with us. We are not professional camera people or even editors, however, we feel you are sure to enjoy learning and seeing what we have to share… Enjoy!
~Kim and Jim
