MONTHLY MEETING (Free & Open to the Public)
Artist Anthony Allman will introduce us to the art of mosaic. “I am a big believer in keeping it simple. It is not as complex as it seems - just tile nippers, glass and a design. With any work of art you have to plan and study and let it take you where it has to go.”
Hosting: Ann Doherty and Carol Salter
