CHILDREN‟S ART FROM SHIGA, JAPAN (KOKA CITY)
This traveling exhibition of work by Japanese elementary school
students, ages seven through twelve, consists of seventeen paint-
ings, eleven ceramic works, eleven photo panels and two posters.
The elementary school is located in Shigaraki Town in Koka City,
Shiga, Japan. Kōka, a city of about 94,000, located on the narrow
section of the main island, south and west of Tokyo, is well known
for its ninja history and its fine quality ceramics. The ceramic tra-
dition there dates from the 12th century. The local sandy clay from
the bed of nearby Lake Biwa has a warm orange color, and makes
very durable pottery. This clay characterizes Shigaraki ware. Koka
City has three sister cities in Michigan—Traverse City, Marshall
and DeWitt—and the exhibit has visited all three.

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES
A special bonus of the Featured Artist series is discovering new information about artists whose
work we thought we knew. Judy Hamilton, for instance, has an inquisitive, adventurous side to
her and is an enthusiastic rug hooker as well as a painter. Judy Colein started out making
soaps and body products and is now immersed in both painting and rug hooking. Ginny John-
son, in addition to teaching, leading the local Habitat for Humanity chapter, working in ceram-
ics and hooking rugs has a whimsical bent that resulted in a magnificent snow dragon. Phyllis
Bigelow has a strong affinity for the architectural which is expressed in both her stained glass
work and her rug hooking . . . and the list goes on. Which brings us to Randy Krause: We
knew she was a painter and a photographer, but she also paints sets for Soo Theatre produc-
tions, the latest being this summer’s “Guys and Dolls”.
Randy Krause grew up in the Sault and now lives on the river, in the Charlotte Beach area. Many of her paintings and

photographs reflect her river view.
She began painting about thirty-five
years ago when she took a watercolor
class with Helga Flower. Branching
out, she took classes taught by Pat
Norton, Gordon McKenzie and Zoltan
Szabo, and began painting with oils
as well, later adding acrylics and pas-
tels to her arsenal as a result of re-
cent classes with Tom Marshall,
Maureen Mousley and Dave Bigelow.
Her first one-woman show was at
LSSU, and she has also shown her
work in galleries in New York City,
the Detroit area, Petoskey, and Sault,
Ontario. She has taught painting
and has watercolor classes scheduled
at the Soo Theatre this fall (see
Workshops and Classes, on p. 10).
Randy’s work in photography was an
offshoot of her painting, evolving, as
she put it, “from my quest for details
of objects I was painting”.
She found that if she ap-
plied theories of composi-
tion, color and design, the
photographs became impor-
tant as individual pieces.
In addition to painting on
canvas and paper, Randy
paints murals. Her first
were on the bedroom walls
of her grandsons (her son’s
new house “had big white
walls that were just asking
fo r i t ” )—a
hockey scene in the bed-
room of one grandson and
an underwater scene on
the bedroom of another.
About the same time she
attended the Soo Theatre
production of “Annie” and
was so taken with the
play and with the theater
itself that she offered her
services and was soon at
work making black
wooden boxes that looked
like shipping crates for “South Pa-
cific”. Next, she was asked to do sets
for “Die Fledermaus” and followed
that with sets for “On Golden Pond”,
“Oliver” and the Christmas Story.
This summer she painted the sets for
“Guys and Dolls”. The Soo Theatre
will be offering a painting camp next
summer for burgeoning set painters
for all the great future shows.
Randy has three sons, the youngest of
whom was born in 1982, with a seri-
ous disability. Her life, then, as she
put it, “took a new direction”. She has
served on several state and federal
boards of directors and advisory com-
mittees that relate to children’s
health care issues or to people with
developmental disabilities. She cur-
rently serves on the Michigan Chil-
dren with Special Needs Advisory
Committee and is employed with the
Children’s Special Health Care Ser-
vices Family Center. The latter is a
special fund that helps families obtain
e q u i p -
ment and services otherwise not avail-
able.
We were curious about a couple of
things—what “Randy” could be short
for, and who “Callum” was (her photo-
graph was labeled “Me, by Callum”.
We learned that Randy was short for
Granda, the name of her Norwegian
great grandmother, known as
“Randy”. She said, “I like my
name, but I can’t use it anywhere
in England, Ireland or Scotland
without getting a laugh.” Callum
is her grandson. The photo, “was
taken by my three-year-old grand-
son Callum. I was trying to get my
camera back. I like it, as it’s fuzzy
enough to hide most of my wrin-
kles. I call it my Diane Sawyer
shot.”
Look for Randy’s work in the cur-
rent EUP Craftsman/Le Sault Art
Guild Exhibit in the Olive Craig
Gallery.

TOM AND KATE MARSHALL TAKE THE THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR BEST OF SHOW AWARD AT THE
38TH ANNUAL SAULT SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL
The three hundred dollar Best of
Show Award given by the Olive Craig
Gallery went to Tom and Kate Mar-
shall (Marshall Art Studio). The
couple took the Best of Show Award in
their first appearance in the festival
in 2007 and Tom took the Judge’s
Award in 2009.
Jeanne Tubman won the one hun-
dred fifty dollar Painting Award given
by the Le Sault Artists Guild and the
Art Store. Jeanne recently took First
Place in Fine Art in the Cheboygan
Art Festival. (You can see more of her
work in the current Alberta House
exhibit.) The one hundred dollar Best
of Crafts Award, given by the Eastern
Upper Peninsula Craftsmen and Na-
tional Office Products went to
Kayleigh White for her photography.
Kayleigh just took Second Place in
Fine Art in Cheboygan. David Bige-
low won the seventy-five dollar
Judge’s Choice Award for the third
time. In his seven years in the festi-
val he has won the Painting Award,
(2009 and 2004), the Design Award
(2006) and the Graphics Award
(2005). The Judge’s Choice Award is
given by an anonymous donor. The
M a r s h a l l s ,
Jeanne Tubman,
Kayleigh White
and David Bigelow are all
from the Sault.
The following awards are
all fifty dollar
awards. The
Aarre Lahti De-
sign Award was
won by festival
regular Richard Miller. Miller is a
carver of maple and cherry wood
kitchen implements—smoothly fin-
ished spoons, spatulas and more. He
lives in Millersburg, Michigan. (Look
for three of his carved wooden tools at
the November 6th Art Auction.) The
Aarre Lahti Award is given by the
Sault Area Arts Council in honor of
the late Aarre Lahti. Lahti, who was
Head of the Department of Art and
Design at Michigan State was twice a
Sault Summer Arts Festival Judge
and for many years was a strolling
fiddler at the festival. The Design
Award was instituted at his sugges-
tion and funded by Lahti, himself un-
til his death.
Ryan’s Jewelry gives the Jewelry
award, which was won by another
festival regular, Jerry Wygant. Wy-
gant cra f ts
smoothly inlaid
wood bracelets
and earrings,
often combining
a number of ex-
otic woods in
varying colors.
(Look for his bracelet with matching
earrings at the Arts Auction.)
He lives in Pentwater, Michi-
gan and has won both the
Jewelry Award and the Wood
Award in previous festivals.
The Fiber Arts Award, given
by Leanne and Gary Deuman,
went to Sault craftswoman
Shirley Harrer. Harrer uses
recycled fibers to create hug-
gable soft critters, coiled fabric
baskets, Christmas
stockings, felt boo-
ties and more. This
is her fourth Fiber
Award. The Graphics
Award, given by Cooper Dental, went
to Zoey Wood-Salomon of Sault,
Ontario. Wood-Salomon took Best of
Show in her first festival appearance
in 2006 and the Graphics Award in
2008 and 2009. Zoey, who paints in
the Wood-
land In-
d i a n
S t y l e ,

ion gives the fifty dollar Pottery
Award, which went to Schmidt-
Marken Pottery of LaPorte
Indiana. Karen Marken is
originally from the Sault. She
and husband Doug Schmidt
come back for the festival every
year and have won previous
Sault Summer Arts Festival
Pottery Awards. Their work is
available in the Alberta House Shop.
The Wood Award, given
since its creation by J.A.S.
Veneer and Lumber, went
to last year’s winner,
Charles Jackson from
Swartz Creek, in his second
festival appearance. In addi-
tion to his smoothly turned
wood vessels, Jackson was
displaying wooden toys. The

Many people contribute each year to
the festival’s success. In addition to
the many volunteers who labor for
the festival, the Sault Area Arts
Council would like to thank the mer-
chants and professional people, men-

Summer Arts Festival by donating
prizes. Thanks also to Soo Printing
and to National Office for donating
paper for the children’s art tent, and
to Co-ed Flower and Gifts for supply-
ing (and resupplying) distinctive bal-
loons for the children there. National
Office Products and Printing helped
with the banners on the trolley. Rich
Brawley generously allowed the use
of the Valley Camp parking lot for
festival goers. Many, many mer-
chants put festival posters in their
windows and helped distribute flyers.
The arts council especially thanks the
city of Sault Ste. Marie and city offi-
cials for going out of their way to
make the festival a success.

v i r t u o s o

bass and

fuses original

tunes with jazz and world music to
create a mix ranging from highly
accessible bluegrass tunes to ex-
treme arrangements of East Indian
ragas. The concert features back-
screen graphics and short-films pro-
duced by freelance filmmaker Zach
Nichols and starring members of the
band that range from a retro sci-fi
inspired introduction, to a black and
white dream sequence about trying
to master a frustrating fiddle line.
The graphics inject humor and per-
sonality into the performances. The
Galactic Cowboy Orchestra released
its first album, “Lookin' for a Little
Strange,” in November 2009.
