Come listen, watch and continue to support the many talented artists the league presents to its membership each month. (Bring a sack lunch)

Hello all!!! Slowly but surely our monthly meetings are growing with the return of our snowbirds. It’s great to have you back. A warm Florida welcome to you and to the new members who recently joined our talented group. Our September and October meetings have been superb! I would like to thank Stephanie Stuefer, Ceramic Artist in Residence at the Armory for sharing her slump mold technique with us. It was very interesting and inspiring and we are most appreciative. Our November Holiday Show and Sale is fast approaching and will be followed by other exciting venues. I urge you to attend the November meeting as applications for upcoming events will be available to members at this time. Please remember to bring your ART for the “HOLIDAY SHOW and SALE”. Continue making your best work and keep abreast of league events by checking the website. Watch for deadlines, please! Thanks to the many members for all of your kind thoughts and words of encouragement as the league continues to flourish.

Welcome back to all of our returning members.
Welcome to new members Sharon Milligan, Lori Thompson, Rhea Moss, Stephanie Steufer and Elaine Bergman.
