Jim has won 18 Emmy Awards. He’s worked as a science correspondent for the Discovery Channel, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, and was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for conceiving the world’s shortest commercial.

Introduction John Curley swears he doesn’t deserve the life that he has, and believes that if karma does exist he will be coming back in the next time around as a dung beetle. Before that happens, John has much work to do. He is a host on KIRO Radio 97.3FM, serves as an elected official in the city of Sammamish as a councilman and is also President of John Curley Auctions. He auctioneers year round helping to raise 2.3 million dollars a month for area non-profits. He wears many hats and has many titles but likes it best when two very small people, who look a little bit like him, call him dad. 9TH ANNUAL RED CARPET GALA & AUCTION Featured Artist: Barbara Goodfellow Childs Childs Pottery www.ChildsPottery.com [email protected] 425-743-4876 A self-proclaimed "accidental" artist, Barbara discovered pottery while in college studying Business Administration and Community Health Education. Out of college, pottery was a place to escape the stresses of corporate life. While raising her family, she eventually worked her way out of the boardroom and into the studio full time. Born and raised in Edmonds, spending summers on the beaches of Whidbey Island, her work embraces the colors and textures of the Pacific Northwest. Most of Barbara’s potting time is spent at the wheel creating functional wares; serving pieces are most fun. Good cooks believe presentation is as important as taste, and she agrees. It’s not necessarily what you serve; it’s how you serve it! Barbara enjoys decorating with stamps or by layering glazes. She’s created over 250 botanical and geometric themed stamps, which are mixed and matched to create unique pieces. Her goal in layering glazes is creating abstracts that reflect the colors and lines of Puget Sound scenery. Blues and greens over rusts emulate the tree lines across the bay, blues over black—the tidal flats on an incoming tide. All her serving pieces are oven and dishwasher safe. Only food-safe glazes are used. Barbara also works with low-fire raku and saggar firing techniques creating strictly ornamental works. These processes allow for experimentation with salt-soaked ferns and hay, copper wire, feathers, horse hair, chemical colorants, low-fire glazes and smoke. Low-fired pottery is strictly ornamental and will not hold water without a glass liner. 9TH ANNUAL RED CARPET GALA & AUCTION Heads ‘n Tails Game If you do not wish to play, raise your bid card when asked to so, otherwise you will be charged $10. The $1,000 is towards live auction purchases only and is non-transferable. HomeStreet Bank Dessert Dash Rules Dessert Dash takes place in the middle of the Live Auction.
