February 5 - 10:30-11:20 “The Art of Glass Blowing” with April Lemon
An artist is someone who can look at what most see as a pile of junk and see beauty and meaning within the chaos, then take those elements that they have seen, put the pieces together in such a way as to share their vision with the world. April tries to do this in her life as well as her art, and her hope is that when she someday leaves this world that the people who have known her and my work might somehow be affected for the good.
