ArtWalk 5-8 pm Friday, March 14
Demonstration by Sculptor
Andree Richmond
 Stop in during ArtWalk and see sculptor Andree Richmond at work! Her hand modeled earthenware sculptures depict animalized human forms. Her surface decorations are built up through successive firings, similar to painting, using both matt and gloss glazes, stains and lusters.
Her lifelong interest lies with animals. As a child she got an animal encyclopedia for Christmas which sparked her fascination. That interest has continued as she has observed different animals and experienced their personalities. To see more of her work click here.
In addition to Andree's demonstration the March ArtWalk will be the opening of Carolina Creations Annual Garden Show which includes paintings by gallery artists, garden art, garden stakes, bird houses and wind chimes.
The Garden Show will run through April 30th.

Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick's Day.
   
What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.
We have a nice collection for St Paddy's day, this is just a sample
