I was honored to be featured in the Whatcom Art Guild's May Issue Newsletter.   I am new to Bellingham and the Art Guild, so it was a wonderful way to be welcomed to the community!  Here is the article:

Introducing Kathey Piros

Kathey is a new artist at Whatcom Art Market and owner of Kate Studio.
A life-long artist, former art teacher in California Bay Area schools,  Kath Piros says that the turning point in her life happened three years ago when her husband gave her a kiln, and she began creating
fused glass jewelry. At that time her daughter was modeling clothing, and Kathey noticed the lack of matching jewelry to enhance particular fashion ensembles. She approached designers with her vision, and her new jewelry business was born.

Fast forward to last summer when the Piros family moved to Bellingham to be close to their B.C. roots. The house they bought in Fairhaven had an art studio, and a life-long dream became a reality—Kate Studio.

Kath is thrilled to be working with kids again, offering 5-week sessions which include the Masters, sculpture, and self-portraits…or how about leather working, fused glass, zendoodles, or collaging? She teaches adults too. Kathey has all the materials, experience, and patience to work with students of all ages. You can find out about her current classes for kids or adults on www.katestudios.blogspot.com

And artists, here’s the bonus—Kath is open to sharing and happy to rent out her studio to other artists! You will want to meet this creative woman in her studio or at her well-appointed booth at the
Art Market.
