October 19 - Wearable Art

What is "Wearable Art?" It can be jewelry, garments, shoes, accessories, hats, all the usual stuff you wear. Only it's ART -- handmade by real artists with exciting materials and techniques, in unique styles that start conversations and make you a stand-out when it comes to individuality and beauty.
See work by silversmiths Colleen Ashton and David Jager, shawls and scarves by silk artist Sandra Ence Paul, crocheters Cherie Smith and Dializ Homer, and weaver Deanna Baugh. Watch them to see what can be learned in our classes.
