Blue Skies Artists are known throughout the region for
the hand-crafted ornaments created for the gallery's Gala Holiday season.
People travel from afar to see what new ornaments have been created and
to take home with them those treasures.
In addition
to the holiday decorations, Blue Skies is filling its stockings this year
with events, demonstrations, workshop classes and activities of interest
to all.
|
 |
Plus, our artists will have available for sale specially designed
wrapping paper and boxes. |
