L'Attitude Gallery Coordinates Mosaic Workshop at Children's Hospital in Boston

Mosaic artist, Bette Ann Libby, is creating 16 new flower mosaics for the Parent Sleep Area at Children's Hospital in Boston - with the help of patients, their familes and CHB staff. Libby is running a workshop in the Cafe at Children's this week, June 3, 4, and 5 from 11am - 3pm. All are welcome to participate in placing ceramic fragments into the designs created by Libby, who also offers mosaic workshops in her studio in Brookline, MA.

The idea for this project stemmed from a collaboration between L'Attitude Gallery owner, Betty Bothereau, and the hospital's Art Coordinator, Jessica Finch.

Eric Clapton purchases art from L'Attitude Gallery

We were surprised and delighted yesterday when guitar legend, Eric Clapton, came to the gallery -- and purchased several scuptural objects for his boat. Clapton is in Boston for a concert tomorrow night at the Tweeter Center. We were pleased that he stopped by and that we were able to find several stone scuptures (including four pieces by entertainment reporter turned stone sculptor Dixie Whatley), glass pieces and a ceramic vessel that suited his taste.

"Moon over White Mountain"

"Moon over White Mountain" is Roger Thomas' stunning new fused glass wall piece.  Roger creates his compositions using glass elements that he carefully cuts, arranges and layers.  The piece is then fired (sometimes several times) at very high temperatures.   You really have to see one of Roger's pieces to understand this dramatic medium.  The simple but classic iron frame (which Roger also designs) holds the glass in place and enhances its drama.  

Size is 51" w x 33" h x 2" d including frame.

Gorgeous Wood Vase

We just received this beautiful "Tall Cloud Rift Vase" by Colin Schleeh.  It's a functional vase (28" h x 12" w) made of birch, which Colin has painted in rich blues and greens.  Available for under $2000.

Great for a mantle, side table or as a wedding gift.
