Open Studio Was A Success

The Graphic Arts Workshop has its fall Open Studio on Nov. 1-3. It was a great success. The event drawn over 200 enthusiastic visitors and some of them are buyers. Many are interested in the artists' work and about the workshop as a whole. There were many interests in becoming a member and participating in our printing class offers.

Here are photos of the event. Participating artists were Lise Currie, Eddie Lee, Cynthia Milionis, Gail Morrison, Andrey Semyonov and Barbara Stikker.
