A Little about the Events
The artists work in fiber, painting, printmaking, pastels, ceramics, drawing, textiles, photography, mixed media, sculpture, weaving, jewelry, and book and lettering arts. You are invited to see demonstrations, ask questions, and spend a couple of hours in a very creative place!
