MIXED METHODS

Back in March I mentioned the end of a Syracuse institution when Eureka Craft Gallery closed its doors. I admit it was hard to accept having been the longest continuous craft gallery that represented my work from 1992 to 2019 and it also meant that I had no gallery representation in that area. Several months back, Amy, a former employee of Eureka and the single person responsible for turning my wife and I on to a great bakery contacted me and ask if I would show in her gallery which she was planning on opening in August or September. I told her I would be happy to and delivered a group of pots to her in September and got to see her new space known as MIXED METHODS. In certain respects MM takes some of its cues from Eureka, not only filling a void left by the gallery closing but bringing a all that she had learned to a new, streamlined and crisp gallery setting while also espousing some "newer" concepts into a social media savvy age. MIXED METHODS is primarily focused on providing well made and unique items and objects in eight various mediums including; pottery, wood, fiber, glass and wood presenting a rich variety catering to all types of collectors and gift givers in a wide range of prices.

As the gallery progresses and takes root in the area the goal is to ultimately include evenings with "Meet the Artists" as well as trunk shows and other special events, one step at a time. The following was included in a recent email from MIXED METHODS owner, Amy; "I wanted to create a place to showcase artists' work from across the country. There are so many talented artists and 'neat' small businesses and I wanted to be able to have a place where someone could find creative, original and well made pieces - whether as a gift or something special for yourself. " In the end, "I decided to open a shop to continue to offer artists' items to the Syracuse area." From my experience what I can say about Amy and MIXED METHODS is she has excellent taste in pastries which I am sure will extend to those things carefully considered for her gallery and this new destination just makes another excellent reason to visit Syracuse located dead smack in the center of NY State. MIXED METHODS  can be found at 215 East Water Street (Rear) in Syracuse.
