Jason Hall was juried for wire art.  He demonstrated by wire wrapping marbles into a shape.  He will make hanging mobiles, magnets, fan pulls, etc.  He also wished to make jewelry and was told absolutely no jewelry of any type.  No lapel pins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets or pendants.  Nothing that could be worn as jewelry.  He was approved  by a four (4) to one (1) vote. 
  5. Michele Wildflower was juried to do Body care products.  She showed us her invoices, her raw products and her finished products.  She was willing to show up how she makes her soap but the wind was too much for the stove to hold a flame. She makes all of her products by mixing different natural products together and makes all of her own labels. Michele also asked to jury for jewelry and was told no jewelry of any type would be allowed. Michele was approved unanimously.
  1. Sharona Avssao was juried for collaged switch plates.  She demonstrated by arranging pieces of cut up art work together, covering it with a glue type solution to keep it from wearing off and holding it onto the light switch plate and then cutting out the hole for the switch. Sharon was approved by a three (3) to (2) vote. She needs to pay her $20.00 fee prior to her first set up on the pier.
  1. Robert Goldwitz was juried for photography.  He showed the committee an album of his photos.  He does all of his work with a digital camera.  He did not bring the camera or a CD of his work to show to us.  The committee discusses this and decided to take it to the Board of Directors for a decision.  We all feel that digital work is acceptable but we would like the Board to give us their in put on the matter.  Robert did not pay the jury fee.  If the Board does give their approval on Wednesday we would like to home jury Robert in order to see his camera, CD’s of his photo’s prior to him being allowed to set up on the pier. 
  1. Robert Young sent in samples of his copper metal sculptures.  He makes pictures and frames them as well as many other types of copper work.  He was approved unanimously. No fee was collected since this is an add a product.

A discussion was held among the PC members to place a cap on jewelry for the remainder of the year.  Also the PC would like to approach the Board with some guidelines for placing caps on products.  A suggestion is 25-30% of any one category of items for a period of time would trigger a cap on those categories.  The PC will present this suggestion to the Board on Wednesday.

Meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m.

Addendum:  Sharona Avssao paid $20.00 to Barb on 2-20-07.  Barb passed money on to Ann S. and she wrote a receipt for $120.00 jury fees.
