Dave Frei and Jennifer Corio’s design studio has been transformed into an art collective by host, Nathan LacQuaye.

• Art in the Pearl- Labor Day weekend, August 30, 31 and Sept 1. PNWS has had a presence at this annual event for many years. It is yet another great place to step up and help fulfil our mission to educate the public about what we do and why we do it. If you have yet to consider participating as a demo artist, the Pearl is a great place to step up. We will have our usual booth set up for you to work alongside other members and we will be raku firing masks next door. If you have a mask to fire you may consider signing up for a demo slot while you are there…contact Jessica Storia, Leslie Christ or Andy Kennedy to sign up: Jessica Storia: jessica.storia@gmail.com Leslie Christ: leslie@lesliechristart.com Andy Kennedy: playpurpose@yahoo.com
