Our featured program was a fun-filled presentation by Sharon Feathers.

"A Bag Full of Ideas for the Artist Studio" 

What exactly is Sharon stirring up? 

She unlocked her bag and out popped tool after tool. 

Did we even know some of these were artist's tools?

We questioned, we learned, we laughed and we were enlightened.

If you weren't there, we missed you, and 

you missed a wonderful, spirited presentation.
