Local Artist to spread wings at TD's First Friday, Aug. 5
Artist Todd Simmler of The Dalles will have his metal displays created from found objects in scrap yards at the HUB, 420 E. First St., across from Sedition Brewing on Laughlin Street. It is one of the numerous events downtown businesses will be holding as the commercial district will be “alive after 5” p.m. with special events, sales and music.
Meet Tristan Stein: Teacher, Welder, Artist, 'Metalmonger', oh, and AWESOME!
“I think my advice is, ‘don’t be afraid to just try.’ It’s the same advice I’d give my kids. There’s no harm in pursuing these things because you never know what’s going to click and really resonate with you. Whether it’s a male-dominated field or not, I feel like that’s been my mantra about a lot of things; you might absolutely hate something, but you might just really love it.”
