WYOMING FIRST: Dowd House Studios

Posted on 4 January, 20134 January, 2013 by wlmeditor

VISIT OUR WEBSITE & READ THE CURRENT ISSUE: www.wyolifestyle.com

We are thrilled to team with the Wyoming Business Council to feature a Wyoming First business every week on our blog! Wyoming First is a program that promotes Wyoming member businesses. Visit their website (click here) to learn more about this service — and if you are a Wyoming business who’s not a member, be sure to inquire about membership! There are many benefits!

This week we are featuring: Dowd House Studios of Alpine, WY

Jenny & Sam Dowd Dowd House Studios PO Box 3831 Alpine, WY 83128 Near the Idaho/Wyoming Border off Hwy 89 south of Jackson

Phone: 307-413-4460

Email: jennydowd@gmail.com

Website: www.dowdhousestudios.com

Jenny & Sam Dowd met as students at Kansas State University in the ceramics studio. They traded phone numbers written in pieces of clay. They both have always been drawn to working with their hands, and each had experiences with clay as children, which stuck with them. As they moved around the country they always set up some sort of studio, but Alpine, Wyoming is the first place the Dowd’s studio in their home feels permanent.

Dowd House Studios is known for their utilitarian pottery. They like to make pottery that can be used every day but also for special occasions. Sam carves or brushes animals onto his pieces which can be very whimsical and, of course, one of a kind. From the fish of the region to dinosaurs, birds and deep-sea fish, they strive to create a piece of art in each of their pots, hoping that the customer will enjoy the experience as much as the Dowds did making the pieces.

The Dowds welcome custom orders and commission of projects. They enjoy projects that can be personalized for their customers. Jenny and Sam work with a few Jackson hotels. They created water pitchers for the Wort Hotel and the Four Seasons in Teton Village, as examples.

You can find Dowd House Studio pieces in Jackson at the Wort Mercantile; in Alpine at the Mountain View Natural Market and the Raven Lunatic’s Art Gallery. You can also visit their studio and the best way to contact them is by email. Prices start at $12. Other places to find the Dowd’s work is on a recently created Etsy site and on Facebook; links for both are on their website.

WYOMING FIRST: NM Works

This week we are featuring NM Works of Cheyenne, by artist Nancy McCalla

nancy@nmworks-cheyenne.com nmworks-cheyenne.com 307-637-5404

Nancy McCalla is a Wyoming native, raised on a farm along the Platte River between Glenrock and Casper. Growing up, she was an avid “rock hound,” always carting around a box of rocks. She found meaning, companionship and solace in the stones. In 1976 Nancy moved to Cheyenne and began a 35 year career working for the Wyoming State Government. In 2004, she attended a metal working class at Laramie County Community College. It was a revelation! Metal met stone and she discovered an entirely new and exciting world.

In 2010 Nancy retired from state government and started her jewelry/art design business. During the 35 years she worked for the state, Nancy spent a lot of time listening to people say to her, “Oh you work for the state, why don’t you get a real job?” So her new enterprise became NM Works – sort of her way of declaring that she now has a “real” job! Nancy feels very lucky to have had a rewarding long term career that ultimately helped her discover her passion to create and to be able to pursue it, and she hope others are as fortunate.

Nancy wants her work to directly reflect Wyoming’s western heritage and our state’s natural beauty. Each piece starts with a concept or insight that she wants to share with others. Sometimes the concept is inspired by the materials she uses – stones, metal, leather, gourds. Nancy always wants her pieces to allow others to see the materials used in a new and different way.

Nancy likes to combine wearable art, with non-wearable art. A small gourd bowl serves as a decorative storage/display piece for the pendant and earrings from the “Hoop Dancer” series. She enjoys combining natural materials such as gourds, shells, feathers, etc., with metal and finished and/or rough stones.

Nancy works with brass, copper, sterling silver and 14/20 karat gold filled metals. She uses both precious and semi-precious stones and cabochons in her pieces. Some of the precious stones used include faceted black diamonds and blue diamonds; un-faceted or raw cognac and grey diamonds, and sapphires. Some of the semi-precious stones used include: garnet, turquoise, jasper, agate, jade and amber. She also uses: gourds, leather, shells, feathers, elk ivory.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do Nancy create custom pieces?
Nancy finds it exciting to work with her customers to design and create a piece that is unique and one of a kind. Depending on what the order is and the materials used, prices could vary from $25.00 to $500.00 on a custom order. She has made rings, earrings and pendants for customers.

Where can people look at or purchase products? Are they located in any stores in our area? Would Nancy like them to be?
If you’d like to purchase any of Nancy’s beautiful and unique pieces go to nmworks-cheyenne.com. She can always be reached by phone (307-637-5404) or email (nanmccalla@gmail.com) as well. She would be thrilled to have some of her products featured at Wyoming Home here in Cheyenne and in Thoenig’s Fine Jewelry in Jackson. Nancy would also be happy and honored to see her products featured in other communities as well.

Keep up with Nancy and NM Works on her Facebook page.

WYOMING FIRST: Whispering Elk Creations

Posted on 18 October, 20122 November, 2012 by wlmeditor

This week we are featuring Whispering Elk Creations by Ronda McLean of Meeteetse, Wyoming

Whispering Elk Creations — Ronda McLean — PO Box 233, Meeteetse, WY 82433 — 307-868-2693

whisperingelk@hotmail.com

While hiking one day, Ronda found some pretty glass in a 1940’s landfill and realized that the glass would take hundreds of years to disintegrate. This gave her a way to contribute to recycling efforts in her community.

Ronda has had a ceramic kiln for years, so she started experimenting with melting glass and began collecting wine bottles and other interesting looking bottles and started make wine bottle cheese plates. When Ronda removes her plate from the kiln and starts designing, she might add a bead to the plate and attaches a cheese knife with a ribbon. She has deigned her own mold for the handle. There are also molds that she uses to melt the bottles over and imprints butterflies or grapes and leaves and says “Bon Appétit.”

All of Whispering Elk Creations are unique; there are never two alike. Ronda also creates custom pieces for weddings or anniversaries or other notable events. One such piece she melted a couple’s special bottle into a plate.

Whispering Elk Creations can be found in Ronda’s boutique in Meeteetse and on her business page on Facebook, www.facebook/WhisperingElkCreations.MeeteetseWyo

SHERIDAN: WYO Theater Gala presents “Anything Goes”, October 20

From Sheridan Chamber of Commerce: The WYO Theater’s Annual Fundraising Gala features the musical “Anything Goes”, winner of three 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. Cole Porter’s classic stars your favorite local talent in an unforgettably fun and willfully silly musical. As the SS American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love … proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of the musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “It’s Delovely,” and of course “Anything Goes.” The October 20th performance is the big gala event, with hors d’oeurves and drinks preceding the performance. Doors open at 6:00 pm, curtain at 7:30 pm. Tickets for the gala evening are $100 per person. For more information and to purchase tickets (when available), contact the WYO Theater box office at (307) 672-9084 or online at www.wyotheater.com. Encore performance will be October 25-28.

WYOMING FIRST: Table Mountain Vineyards

OUR SISTER PUBLICATIONS: Wyoming Weddings http://www.wyoweddings.com/ Wyovore http://www.wyovore.com/ WYO XY http://www.wyolifestyle.com/WYOXY/index.html The Wyoming Woman http://www.thewyomingwoman.com/

This week we are featuring Table Mountain Vineyards from Huntley, Wyoming

Patrick Zimmerer, Huntley, WY

307.459.0233

http://www.wyowine.com/

Table Mtn Vineyards (or TMV) started growing grapes in 2001 and began producing wines in 2004. The winery was inspired through owner Patrick Zimmerer’s Senior Thesis project while at the University of Wyoming. Patrick and his sister, Amie later competed in the University of Wyoming 10K Business Plan competition — they won first prize along with seed money to start the project.

Table Mountain Vineyards is Wyoming’s largest vineyard and winery – producing 100% Wyoming grown and made wines. The vines are a cross of wild and wine grapes in order to survive Wyoming’s climate. While the grapes are a bit different than traditional varieties, the winery is able to grow and produce its product from vine to wine in Wyoming. The winery processes anywhere from 20-40 tons of grapes per year.

Additionally, the winery has just finished construction of its new winery facility featuring a grand room for large groups, event hosting and functions. The tasting room is located just a few miles from Huntley, WY – (around 80 miles NE of Cheyenne on HWY 85). The winery is currently open by appointment during its harvest season.

The winery will be featured later this fall on “America’s Heartland” on RFDTV and PBS stations across the US as part of a segment featuring Wyoming agriculture.

The wines typically retail around $15 per bottle. The winery produces 10-14 varieties of grape and fruit wines. All the wines are “Farm to Table Wines” meaning the fruit is sourced from local vineyards and fruit growers in Wyoming. The winery produces wines with truly “Wyoming Character” and Spirit such as Cowboy Reserve, Rooster Red, S.O.B. Raspberry Wine, Stampede White, and many more. Its most unique wine is Wyoming Nectar – a honey wine w/Cinnamon. The wine style is traditionally known as Mead – one of the oldest fermented beverages in the world and is made from local beehives in the area.

TMV Wines are located in over 70 retail outlets in Wyoming, sold through its tasting room in rural Goshen County near Huntley, and direct shipped to various states & WY through its website WyoWine.com. TMV is a proud sponsor of many events and organizations throughout the year – you can find their wines this week at the Wyoming Women’s Expo in Casper and the Saint Mary’s Wine tasting this November in Cheyenne.

TMV Winery Offers Custom Labels for weddings, reunions, and special events. We’re also thrilled that Patrick writes in every issue of our Wyoming Lifestyle Magazine — and we featured an article on Table Mountain Vineyards in our first issue of Wyovore, our bookstore-exclusive publication!

The winery currently is open by appointment – visit WyoWine.com for more information or contact the winery at 307-459-0233 –
