Judge: Tom Dimond

We are pleased to have artist, Tom Dimond as our judge this year. He recently retired from 34 years of teaching at Eastern Oregon University where he concentrated on classes in jewelry design, ceramic and glass. He is now able to devote more time to his own work in his new “Hot Class Studio” high on Mt. Fanny in Cove, Oregon where he works in glass blowing, flame working and bead making as well as fused and slumped glass pieces. The views of landscapes and sunsets from his studio as well as his continued involvement with hunting and fishing activities keep him closely tied to the natural beauty of the region and are focal inspirations for him as an Eastern Oregon artist. Tom will be a featured Artist at Crossroads in October of 2009.
