If you want one mailed to you, call or e-mail me.  Each of us has a different area of expertise..... we have: a blacksmith, glassblower, textiles, ceramics, jewelry, clay monoprints, and paintings in various mediums. This will be a fun way to meet artists, see how they work, and maybe shop for the holidays!  Hope to see you here at my home!
