Studios on the Park, Holiday Shopping

Holiday shoppers at Studios on the Park will  find unique gift unavailable in department stores. You can shop not only for products already on display, but some artists and craftsmen may be willing to make a special gift just for you to give to  someone hard to shop for. You can get plenty of ideas by visiting the studios of the various artists, but you will find even more variety at the Studio 9 Art Collective.  This photo is just one corner of it.

This studio is devoted to handmade items. You will find fused glass pieces, jewelry, fabric arts, shadow boxes, pottery, small paintings, books, sculptures, wood crafts, and more. The displays change often. Make frequent visits to see what's new.

I will be featuring some of the fused glass and wood crafts exhibits later this week. Stay tuned.
