Ever try to throw a teapot?

For any of you Jivers that live in the west and have been to the dusty desert town of Gerlach, Nevada, you probably know about the landmark oasis of art and culture smack dab between the Black Rock and Smoke Creek deserts, the inimitable Planet X Pottery. Founders John and Rachel Bogard have been long-time allies of Jiveradio and are step-parents to our beloved FM station there KLAP 89.5. Besides having a newly revamped website https://www.planetxpottery.net/, they’ll be throwing their annual Memorial Day weekend pottery and art sale (guess when… ) May 24-26, which is always a fun gathering. Join ’em if you can!

 

New doc coming out on Freeman Vines

There’s people who make guitars, and then there’s the late Freeman Vines, an artist who took the term ‘luthier’ into another orbit. Thanks to the folks at the Music Maker Foundation, a new documentary film is coming out this summer which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.  More info HERE.
