Our second annual "Artisans Off the Avenue" will once again be held in our parking lot during Founders Festival. Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19, local artists will be demonstrating their craft while exhibiting their masterpieces. This is a great time to meet and talk with the artists whose work is available year round at Eclectic Elegance. Watercolorist Kathy Spellman, potter Dave Albrecht, and jeweler Whitney Shuck are scheduled to be here. Their work will be displayed in our tents throughout the weekend and the special demonstration times are:
Friday, July 18 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. AND 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, July 19 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. AND 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

We can't wait to see you at the 44th annual Farmington Founders Festival!

Eclectic Elegance's favorite local potter, Dave Albrecht, will be teaching a TWO part children's ceramic class on Wednesday, July 23 AND Wednesday, July 30. Both two hour classes begin at 10:00 a.m. and are designed for children six years and older. During the first class, Dave will teach the basics of clay and demonstrate different techniques. The young artists will then be able to take what they have learned from Dave and CREATE! Dave will take home the masterpieces and fire the clay. On Wednesday, July 30, the children will glaze their work and once again Dave will fire the artwork. The completed pottery will be available for pickup at Eclectic Elegance in August. All materials are supplied and the cost for this TWO part class is $50.00. A $20.00 non-refundable deposit is required. For more information or to enroll your young artist(s), please call Eclectic Elegance at 248-478-7220.

Whew! We told you we could keep your summer filled with Purple Building F -U -N!!!!! We look forward to seeing you at one (or all) of the coming Eclectic Elegance events.
