Just a quick reminder to check out the faculty/student art sale at the museum tomorrow and Saturday. All funds go to the TMA School of Art and Design. I've also learned that the art classes make good Christmas gifts- especially for little ones. They offer everything from blacksmithing to digital photography.

Do You Really Want to Brave the Malls at Christmas?

Okay, I probably shouldn't have used a picture of Southwyck for that headline, but I just couldn't resist.
Holiday art sales are a great source of inexpensive holiday gifts, seriously, hear me out. One of a kind, original art, for rock bottom prices. I have personally spent $25 dollars for three, nice, signed pieces of glass, from local artists. There are a couple coming up and I suggest you make the rounds if you want that perfect gift for Aunt Eleanor.
The Lucas County Rec Center will be hosting one Nov. 10th & 11th, unfortunately their website looks as if to have only been updated four times in the last five years, so I couldn't find too much information on it. I do know that Julie Shine Webster will be there though, so it's got that going for it. Webster's a local artist with some really outrageous pottery, so it's worth the trip.
There will also be a student/faculty sale on the 23rd & 24th at the museum. They have this every year and there's always a ton of glass and a ton of ceramics. But get there early because it goes fast. (that's where I spent the $25)
And if that wasn't enough I know Shawn Messenger and Jack Schmidt have a holiday sale every year, but I haven't heard anything definite yet. Speaking of Jack Schmidt, check out this video from Above the Shop Studios- I love the rocks on top of the little bronze tables!
Don't forget about the book sale this weekend too.
