Ep 119: Jeni Hegsted and Emerge
Manage episode 410908106 series 3454078
One of our favorite events in downtown Coeur d'Alene is Emerge's Ceramic Throwdown and Cup Frenzy during 2nd Friday ArtWalk on April 12. With such energy, potters come together to compete 2 at a time on the wheel, sometimes blindfolded, to show what they can create in about 5 minutes given certain parameters. And the cup frenzy part where you can go into a maze of handmade mugs created by local artists for $15, some of which could be worth upwards of $120! And the gallery exhibit featuring the works of many noted ceramic artists on display. The event is just fun, and Executive Director, Jeni Hegsted talks about how it came about and what the money raised is used for.
In addition, she talks about the goals for this year for Emerge, and other upcoming events, including the annual Block Party happening this year on July 12.
