Jay has been with us for just over a year and does many tasks, but his primary job is a painter. An accomplished artist, it didn’t take long for him to get up to speed on our techniques. These days, we only give a little art direction as we go through a project, and he is off. I was largely busy in my studio today, and when I walked through the shop at lunch, I was amazed to see the finished harp. I knew Jay had been busy working out in the Inn, and I commented to Peter that he had done a wonderful job on the final glazes and dry brushing. Peter informed me that it wasn’t he who had finished the harp but rather Jay. It's great to have such a skilled assistant to make our pieces so magical! Now we have to add the strings and tightening keys to make it ready to install in the Copper Crown suite.
