One of my favorite ways to learn about art in Austin is to read the catalog toE.A.S.T., where you can find information on every artist participating in thestudio tour that year.

Big Medium might not be housed in some fancy, giant office somewhere, but thework they're doing for East Austin artists and Austin the city is so vital --and much appreciated.
As you may have guessed, pouring hot liquid into tiny little tubes is not theeasiest thing you will ever do. I know, I know, I told you we were taking iteasy this week. Calm down; it’ll all be over soon. You might want to enlist ahelper for this part, and pouring from a liquid measuring cup worked prettywell.
