Love Letters to Virginia

LAVA Presents Concert Promoter founder, Josh Coplon has been booking shows since the tender age of 17. 16 years later, his love of music has touched so many and has really helped to grow the community of Norfolk into the thriving arts community it is today. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of live music and we have enjoyed many Lava Presents shows together. You may have even spotted us at a few in the last two years. Coplon is also the owner of Norfolk Kayak Rentals which celebrated its third year this past September. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loveletterstovirginia/message

Writer, Director & Actor Adam Lapallo is also an editor with Homes.com. Adam's voice is distinct in his ability to tell complex yet relatable stories from dramas to horror. I have had some really awesome experiences working with him and I feel like I've had the opportunity to grow as an artist because of those short films we have worked on together. Adam has deep roots in Virginia, his maternal grandmother's side of the family settled in Jamestown and there survived the “Starving Time”, his mother, Connie wrote a trilogy series on their family history that Adam has turned into a treatment for a larger project. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loveletterstovirginia/message

Rachel Jaffe is a "coastal craftswoman based in Virginia Beach. She specializes in ceramic arts, education and is a business owner. Her clay work, including her now infamous miniature mug jewelry recently made it's debut at Arrowmont's Showcase Gallery and Supply Store in Gatlinburg, TN. Rachel grew up in Northern Virginia and her family has deep roots here, in the early 1940s, her great grandfather, Solomon Jaffe opened a meat processing plant called the Suffolk Packing Company, which her grandfather Gerald helmed for another 40 years. In her own words: "I craft functional and whimsical artwork to encourage play and conversation. My creations are intended to evoke a warm sense of home and meant to be touched, shared and cherished by all... My love for ceramics began in 2016, when my older sister, Julia, introduced me to this medium. She has always encouraged me to explore my artistic side and embrace the 3D world. As we explored and mucked around in our high school ceramics studio together, I became fascinated by the ability to shape earthen materials into lively creations. Thus began my clay journey. Much of my clay knowledge comes from, well, other clay people! I have learned so much through collaborating with other artists by sharing tools, techniques, and inspiration. I believe that art is meant to be shared and that the process of teaching and learning from others is an essential part of the creative process.Rather than pursuing a traditional academic path, I chose community studios as my learning environment. Before committing myself to ceramics, I briefly attended university in Pittsburgh, PA. Most of my time was not spent in the lecture halls. Instead, I ventured off-campus to a local community pottery studio, the Union Project, to satisfy my clay cravings. Later, I returned home to my job at Clay Cafe Studios in Falls Church, VA, where I shared my love of ceramics with elementary students. While teaching these young minds the wonders of clay, I also discovered new techniques and honed my skills as an artist. This experience served as a mutually beneficial opportunity for both myself and the children I taught.While I was accepted into art school, I ultimately decided not to attend. I chose to continue my education through more hands-on experiences. I adored teaching youth and continued my work at a local art center called River Tree Arts in Kennebunkport, ME. I had the wonderful opportunity to teach after school classes, connect with other artists, further develop my skills, and hone my personal style."  Find Rachel at a local market using the link below: https://www.23beans.com/markets Upcoming Markets 2023 July 22 // Christmas In July 5:00 - 9:00 PM@ Reaver Beach Brewing Co.3800 Colley Ave.Norfolk, VA 23508 Additional Resources: https://www.arrowmont.org/store/ https://www.isjl.org/virginia-suffolk-encyclopedia.html --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loveletterstovirginia/message

https://www.cake4kids.org/ "Cake4Kids Mission Statement We bake and deliver free birthday cakes for underserved children who might not otherwise receive one. In a world where the basics of a positive childhood are often out of reach and youth have little to call their own, the seemingly simple gift of a birthday cake can make a huge impact by raising their self-esteem and confidence. We partner with human and social services agencies to accomplish this mission. How Does It Work? Cake4Kids is powered by an amazing and compassionate group of volunteers who donate all the ingredients and supplies to bake cakes for the youth in their own homes and then deliver them to our partner agencies who support the youth. We have no minimum commitment — volunteers choose how often and which cakes they want to bake! Our volunteers never meet the children we support, but every cake is custom-made for each child and an enormous amount of love is baked into each one. We partner with agencies and organizations throughout the country who serve the youth. Our partners request a cake on behalf of the youth, and Cake4Kids volunteers deliver directly to the agencies." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/message

"At the age of eight, Spencer Tinkham (b. 1992) discovered the exhilaration that few people achieve in a lifetime. A simple pocketknife, given to him by his grandfather, launched both his passion for creating and his future as an artist. Enthralled by the rich biodiversity that inhabited the water's edge in Norfolk, Virginia, Spencer's love for nature was also sparked early on. He realized that through sculpture, he could create lasting mementos of fleeting encounters. Spencer sculpted many readily available household materials- mostly soap bars and wood scraps. His tools were limited and primitive- a pocketknife, a hacksaw, and a pencil. Before Spencer graduated high school, he had already twice-won the Danner Frazer Youth Decorative Wildfowl World Championship. Spencer has no formal art training and is entirely self-taught. He continues to use primitive tools and mixes his oil paints from pigment powders. Most of his sculptures are still made out of found materials and are wildlife focused. Spencer's sculptures draw influence from literature, folk art, Modern art, and contemporary art. Spencer is intrigued by the repetition of human behavior over history and uses animal sculpture to help people ponder their impact on the environment and each other. Most recently, Spencer was inducted into the National Sculpture Society as an Associate Member. “Colaptes auratus auratus” was juried into the prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson “Birds in Art 2022” museum exhibition. He has work in the Dollar Tree, Inc. corporate art collection, and has sent his sculptures to many private art collections worldwide." https://www.spencertinkhamart.com/about-spencer-tinkham.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/support

At Age 13, Gayle was shocked to learn her secret century old family lineage, her aunt revealed that they are direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson. I believe that this knowledge led Gayle to the pursuit of truth in every story as a reporter on a subconscious journey of self discovery.

Her book, Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant's Search for Her Family's Lasting Legacy is a testament to acknowledge the ugly side of history, and remind folks that this really wasn't all that long ago. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/support
