Making Scents

The calm after the storm

Two days after our first snow of the season, the scene around our offices is very different, but no less beautiful.

The calm before the winter storm

Shoyeido USA's hometown of Boulder is downright summery today, but tomorrow should present a very different picture as we await as much as 15 inches of heavy, wet snowfall tonight. It will be our first snow of the season. Picture taken from Shoyeido's rooftop.

Boulder area 'Artwalk' to feature one of Shoyeido's potters

Cris Conklin, the skilled Boulder potter behind several of Shoyeido's distinctive ceramic incense holders, will be one of the featured artists in Niwot's 1st Friday Artwalk. That's this Friday, April 1 (and for all you out-of-towners, Niwot is a small, artsy community located a few miles to the north of the city of Boulder).

If you're in the area, Cris invites you to stop by, meet her and the other participating potters, check out the art, have some wine, and enjoy live swing and classic jazz of the '30s, '40s and beyond by vibraphone and guitar duo Vic and Pete.

Where: Manifest Art Gallery, 108 2nd Avenue, Niwot, CO 80544.

When: Friday, April 1, 2011 from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. MDT.
