Uptown Art Walk

Somehow, I neglected to put this even on my calendar when I was adding all the 2017 things to it.  I was surprised when Darby from the Arts Council contacted me to see if I was interested in participating.  Why yes!  I'll play.  Hours listed are 5:30 to 8:30, but I am not so sure that I'll still be coherent by 8:30.  We'll see.  

There's an impressive list of businesses and artists here.  I know there will be some tasty food and drink at Buffalo Creek Gallery.  (I'm baking goodies as I type this.)  In addition, Ali Wilson will be there showing off what she does.  You should definitely plan to stop in there.  

While there won't be food at A Griffin Pottery Associates, but I'll be there making something.  Not yet sure what that will be.  Last time I made mugs.  I kind of feel like I should do something different this time.  Maybe bowls or vases?  At this point in the fall, I'm pretty pooped, so I just hope that I make sense when I talk to people.  Please stop by and say hello.
