Exciting Upcoming Art Experiences

This Friday, June 10th, At The Creamery
Come out and support local arts and music in the North Fork Community

The theme for the upcoming month of June is "Pottery".   
     We will be celebrating our awesome potters from our very own Pottery Studio and Creamery Pottery Members. 
Featured potters/artists for June:  Potter David Strong, Artist/Potter Zack Knuckles, Potter Janet Nottenburg, Potter Melissa Carlson, Artist/Potter Kyle Hewitt, and Photographer/Graphic Design Artist Tony Schweikle among others. 
     The opening reception will be on Friday, June 10th at 6 pm.  As usual, it'll be a potluck kind of event and Rich (and possibly some open mic musicians) will be playing some light music for the occasion.  Please come on out and be a part of the Opening.  It's a great way to get to know your fellow artists/creamery members and just to be an important part of your art center. 
     If our members want to put new art into the gallery for the new show, they can drop off art/pottery on these days:  Wednesday 6/1 - Tuesday 6/7 during business hours.  (Note: come in through the back/side entrance and David will be here with inventory sheets if Rich isn't available. Saturdays we close early at 3 pm)

On-going at the Creamery

• After school art classes are offered, with Suki Strong and David Strong as instructors. 
• Adult ceramics with David happens on Wednesday nights at 6:00pm (or by appointment). 
• Open Mic Night is every Wednesday at 6:00pm. It's become a wonderful, fun event that showcases the incredible talent of Hotchkiss and the North Fork Valley. 
• We have plenty of delicious 3rd Bowl ice cream in stock, be sure to swing by and get a scoop!
