West Seattle Art Hop & Shop 2023
I’m excited to participate in the West Seattle Art Hop & Shop again this year on May 6, 2023 from 10am - 5pm. I will be located at Celebration Studio with @SteffanieLorig and at least one other artist. I’ll publish the address closer to the event along with an interactive map. For event link, updates and artist info, follow the West Seattle Art Hop page on Facebook, @wsarthop on Instagram, or check-out the official link on the West Seattle Artwalk site.
Due to space limitations at this venue, I will be displaying smaller and medium sized works and my hand-cranked bicycle jewelry and silver wire wearables. Larger works will still be available by appointment. There will be at least 3 artists at this location so come by and say Hi and find a special something to take home!
