January News

Some cool things have happened since I wrote last month:
1.  I am thrilled to announce that I have been juried into the 13th annual 100% Handcrafted juried arts and crafts fair at Robbinsville High School (NJ), which I understand is one of the best inside crafts shows held in this area.  Over 100 artisans, whose specialties include pottery, jewelry, botanicals, wood, paper, textiles, photography, metal, candles, soap and gourmet food products, will showcase their work in the high school's beautiful skylighted commons and gym. Admission is FREE and all proceeds benefit the Robbinsville High School theater and instrumental music programs. 

• 100% Handcrafted - Arts & Crafts Show
• Robbinsville High School
• 155 Robbinsville Edinburg Rd
• Robbinsville, New Jersey 08691
• Saturday,  March 23, 2019 from 10am to 3 pm

2.  Princeton Sketchers, the twice monthly sketching group I started after moving to Princeton, has been accepted as an official program of the Princeton Public Library.  Beginning this February, our events will be listed on their website and publications.  We will have a room in the library available for our group to meet and sketch in if we want and a special shelf dedicated selected sketching books  that they've agreed to purchase for us.  In addition, we may be able to bring  guest speakers to town as part of their on-going lecture series.    I am grateful and excited about having this opportunity to expand our local sketching community.   

If you are in the area and would like to join us,  our events will be posted, starting in early February,  at https://princetonlibrary.org/events/

The sketch below was made while the Princeton Sketchers visited the Princeton Art Museum this month. It combines designs from several different pieces of Greek pottery that are part of their permanent collection.
