How to Set a Glass Eye in a Wire
Woven Frame
Join us at the April 23 General Meeting for an in-person presentation by Jill Lawrence of Twisted Sister Arts! A former PBS member, Jill is a native Oregonian who has been creating wire designs for 11 years and been self-employed for 5 years +, selling her work on Etsy for 11 years, with approximately 15,000 followers.
Jill Lawrence will be showing us how she sets one of her hand-painted eyes in a wire woven frame, at the April 23rd general meeting. If you have ever wanted to know more about wire weaving, this is the meeting for you! She will be presenting in person and will - of course - be shown via Zoom for those who cannot make the meeting in person.
Jill will be bringing finished pieces and hand-painted eyes which will be for sale at the meeting. She will accept payment by cash or check
Sadly, we had to cancel the Bead and Creative Arts Festival this year due to lack of sufficient vendors to make this fundraiser profitable. We are still showcasing the vendors who did sign up on the Festival Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/PBSpresentsBeadandCreativeArtsFestival, and encourage you to support these small businesses directly. We are brainstorming ways to make the festival work in the future.
