January and February Workshop

March 2 Workshop
Pamela Varricchio will be teaching a Distlefink or Irish Hex Sign.
Irish Hex Sign
The elements of the design are symbolic of many things. The Distlefink depicted on this sign is the good luck bird of the Pennsylvania Dutch: two will bring you double good luck. The shamrock represents good luck as well, while the alternating strokes completing the outer band wish you smooth sailing throughout life.
Carol Hechler and Jeanette Seese have started our Members' Gallery at the WWSC. We hope you have had a chance to see it, but we still need more items to fill our walls. We are asking you to bring in art that you have done to show off your talent! If you want to try to sell it, that's an option.
We ask that you also provide a 3x5" note card or piece of paper that has your NAME, TITLE OF THE WORK (if no title, just write UNTITLED), the MEDIUM and a PRICE (optional). There are several shelves that can accommodate plates, boxes, gourds, miniatures, items needing an easel, etc. If we can get enough participation, we plan to rotate the artwork periodically. We hope you will contribute to a more "artistic" look to our meeting place!
