Please join us for West Seattle’s Artwalk next Thursday, January 12th, from 6-9 to meet Shelli and take in her newest menagerie of wire birds.

The “taste good” part is a visit by Rebecca Staffel, proprietess of Deluxe Foods. Wow! She recently visited Click! on her way to help with the grape harvest for an upcoming jelly she was creating. A few tastes later, we were convinced, and Click! now carries a selection of her beautiful jars of taste sensational fruit concoctions that you can sample Thursday night. Rebecca has also promised to to bring a small collection of brand new cocktail syrups – pour into a glass of sparkling wine or water and you’ve got instant “festive beverage” and who doesn’t need that right about now?
The “do good” part of the evening involves a visit from Arts Corps. Click! will donate 10% of all sales during Art Walk to this fabulous local non-profit organization that brings art education and opportunity to youth who might otherwise not have access. Arts Corps will have volunteers on hand to tell us about their programs, give out information and accept donations. Several other West Seattle businesses will have a charitable component to their evening; please see the Art Walk blog and Facebook page for more details.
Our featured artist is Rachel Austin. See a preview of her beautiful map-inspired paintings by clicking the image below.

Very many of you have admired and/or purchased Rachel’s engaging work in the 2 years we’ve featured her at Click! We are so happy to represent an artist whose work continues to change in such a thoughtful and graceful trajectory. We hope you will take the opportunity to meet Rachel and see how her work continues to evolve.
Fisherman’s Bay
In the new “Cartography Series”, Rachel still uses maps to reference place and incorporate texture into her paintings. But she has added the graphic imagery of landscapes seen from high altitude, to give the work more abstraction than in her previous paintings. The results are wonderful.
Seattle
Mark your calendars for a pre-Artwalk Reception. Rachel will be at Click! from 2 to 5pm this Saturday November 5th, to chat and answer questions about the “Cartography Series”.
Of course there will be sips and snacks!

We’re looking forward to the first week in September! Our very own Sarah Loertscher is taking over the store, filling it with her drawings, prints, new installation work, and very new jewels from her latest collection, the F-series.
Fe is the symbol for iron, the element at the heart of her steel collection. Sarah’s clean, angular forms are cut and folded from mild steel to create light, faceted structures. Some of these edgy steel jewels have the addition of 18k gold to starkly contrast with the steel; others are studded with punchy colors of glass beads: aqua, orange, and magenta.
The details:
Thursday, September 1st 6-9pm — opening reception
Saturday, September 3rd 11-5 — trunk show
Mark your calendar — it should be a rockin’ show!

Meet our June artist Dawn Endean! Dawn is a local Seattle artist who will be displaying an elegant collection of her monotypes & mixed media prints for the months of June & July.
Dawn’s work is informed by her studies in archaeology and biology. She explores patterns that occur repeatedly in nature at both micro and macro levels — her interest lies in the structural components of bones and branches, cells and seeds. Dawn began taking classes at Pratt Fine Art Center, and has become an integral part of Seattle’s print community.
Join us on the West Seattle Art Walk this Thursday from 6-9 to meet the artist, and enjoy Click!’s late night ambiance including beverages by Dry Soda, nibbles, and of course many new Click! items. Dawn’s work will be on display from June 9th — July 31st. Come visit!

rustic bowl $34
We’re in love with the porcelain ceramics of Gleena (which means clay in Russian). The woman behind Gleena is Asya Palatova, a Russian native who grew up spending lengthy summers at her family dacha, a Russian country house. Surrounded by her grandmother’s carefully tended gardens and apple trees, the dacha proved to be an source of endless inspiration for Asya’s simple, organic shapes.
large organic bowl $56
Asya’s porcelain tableware is all handmade in her Rhode Island studio. We love her delicious, sherbet-y colors and sweet, simple decals. Her images range from flowers and romantic lettering to tiny forks and spoons.
