At our workshop with Stephen Quiller in March, he gave an evening demo to non-students. He was unable to finish the piece but promised to do so and send a copy to us. And he did, and he says it is sold! Here is the finished work. Stunning!
Three of our members, as members of the Best of Missouri Hands, have been selected to display at the Missouri Governor's Mansion. The display will be up for a year. Congratulations to Alicia Farris, Miriam Krone and Shirley Nachtrieb.
