About KAST

KAST began in 2004 when a small band of artists decided it was time Kirkland had its own artist studio tour. The artists open their studios once a year on Mother’s Day weekend to give the public a rare opportunity to see artists create in their studios. Kirkland Arts Center took on the management of the tour in 2008 as part of new programming initiatives designed to support the arts within the community. KAST 2017 is the 14^th annual tour.

Photo Shooting January 2017

Posted on January 20, 2017April 7, 2017 by porpeartifacts

2017 is here! Looking back I see all the changes that 2016 brought to my friends and family. Sometimes, changes were perceived and characterized good and others bad. Whatever of what has happened, we choose to see the glass half full and do our best for 2017!

Every year, we will design jewelry inspired from the new year to come! So I though, what is the best way for Porpe to start 2017? Photo Shooting the number “7 collection”! A tribute to 2017…

Our 1st photo shooting took place in Bellevue Square and we lived one last time the “glamour” of Christmas!
