some changes to the Color Creek schedule

It’s amazing how busy the summer has been and we have more to go.  The downtown G Street Art Fair is fabulous with lots of great Alaska-made artwork and crafts.  There’s another one coming up this Saturday the 25th so add it to the calendar.  Color Creek won’t be there this time, but my silk work is at Virtu Gallery on 4th & D if you want to browse some new work.

Kathy Harte from Harte Design Studios and I are collaborating on a show for Terra Bella Cafe on Dimond Blvd (next to Bed Bath & Beyond) for August.  Reception is THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH 5:30-7:30. Kathy has always quilted with my fabrics so we decided to have a “from fabric to quilt” show.  Please stop by if you can.

Across the Bay Tent and Breakfast silk painting workshop is canceled and in its stead I will be in Cuddy Park on the 7th from 4:30-7:30 pm for the Park’s Foundation Children’s Fair.  If you turned out for the Art in the Park then you’ll know that this will be a fabulous place to be for the kids.  Booths, Art, Bicycle Parade, and lots of activities to celebrate the Youth Employed in the Parks Program.  It’s all free.

The workshops all have space left so let me know if you want to join the Intro to Silk Painting workshop this coming Saturday the 25th from 1-4 pm.  Get a Break Lab is coming up August 1st.

Hoping your summer has been as fantastic as can be.  I look forward to seeing you at the show, the Children’s Fair or in the studio working with fiber.

Remember that I would like to treat you to a silk scarf and free lab if your birthday is in July.  You have to redeem it this month so don’t delay too much.

8-7 Children’s Fair
