Ornaments, Ornaments, Ornaments


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.
