Calendar:
June/July 2010
This month, we’ll be having a presentation by artist and saddle maker John Rule. John grew up as a cowboy, spending most of his time at the Oklahoma City National stockyards. He started studying art at a very young age, attending classes at the Fairgrounds, riding his horse there from the Stockyards twice a week. The Daily Oklahoman even published an article about the young cowboy artist. During high school, he worked in wire sculpture, oils, charcoal and leather carving. In 1976 he went to work for National Saddlery Co. in the Stockyards and purchased it in 1980. He began to develop his leather carving and saddle making skills there, eventually becoming the saddle maker of the World Champion saddles for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assn. from 1990-1999. When that contract ended, he was able to do more freestyle leather carving and began a new interest in bronze sculpture. John lives on a ranch in Minco with his wife and daughter (his son lives in Oklahoma City), where they raise cattle and train performance horses. His hobbies include calf roping and falconry. (When does he find the time for all this?) There’s more: in 2006, he was selected to build the Official Saddle of the Oklahoma Centennial which is on display at the Oklahoma History Museum. It is fully carved and includes a bronze buffalo head sculpture on the back of the cantle. Hopefully we’ll see a picture of it; he plans to show us examples of his bronzes as well as saddle-making and other forms of art. Be sure to join us at 7:00 in City Arts’ Bridge Gallery on Thursday, June 10. And bring a piece of your art to share!
On Saturday, July 10, we are planning to visit the Prix de West at the National Heritage and Western Museum. If you’re interested in meeting for lunch first at Dining on Persimmon Hill at 11:30, call Glen by the 9th (387-4025); we can eat at their buffet or order off the menu. Good food and great art – who could ask for anything more? An e-mail reminder will go out about this earlier that week, so send in your e-mail address if we don’t already have it. (If you didn’t get a request for your news for the newsletter on May 24, then we don’t have your e-mail address; send it to dmarseilles@cox.net.)
P. S. – leave a message for Glen if you call during the day; he plans to be teaching a workshop that week.
