Pete Bluett Sculpture

Underneath the Burnside Bridge at Portland Saturday Market is where you will find me most weekends from March through December.  I also have a studio in my home in Lake Oswego.

  As you can read in my brochure, I was born in San Francisco in 1936.  I attended Lowell High School and the University of Oregon (54-58).  I served as an Officer and a Gentleman for two years at Ft. Gordon , Georgia , running a children's camp for military dependents. ( This was because I was trained as an Infantry Officer but had a good deal of difficulty reading a map. Ike was not anxious to turn me loose leading men around  Korea ) When I got out of the service I did 30 years with IBM in Salem, Bend and Portland.  In 1991 IBM sent me to Oregon School of Arts and Crafts for a year and I opened at Portland Saturday Market. In 1999 I was selected to go to Japan on an artists exchange and I appeared at the State Fair the same year. At the beginning of this century I was invited to present at the Lake Oswego Arts Festival. Since they asked me to return the following year I must have done something properly.

My wife Judy and I like to travel.  If you can furnish us a level spot and a plug for our motor home we will appear nearly anywhere. We request a minimum in advance orders for the equivalent of one large fired bust ($150) or seven medium faces for each working day ( including 400 mile travel days from Portland, Oregon).. For charities or benefits we will donate 50% of our gross after minimum.

That means that if you and yours want to conduct a workshop in or near Portland and earn dollars for your favorite interest ..you could contract for two large busts ($300)and donate 50% of any additional revenue generated to your project.
