The Portland area Holiday Party is coming up fast: Saturday Dec 7th at Linda Gerrard’s in Beaverton. The fun begins at 5:00 PM and goes until about 9:00 PM.
(There’s also a potluck Holiday Brunch Dec. 15th in Seattle)
This is a not-to-be-missed event! We have an awesome potluck dinner with Linda Gerrard preparing the main course (and probably a few other things). The appetizer, salad, side dishes, libations and desserts are brought by the members in attendance. Believe me when I say, you won’t go home hungry!
Not only will you be treated to an amazing meal, there is also a very fun gift exchange. You spend no more than $25.00 for the gift, everyone randomly selects a number and the fun begins. Don’t get too attached to your awesome gift because it just might get stolen.
Please RSVP to Linda at pnwggholidayparty@gmail.com no later than Monday November 25th to get the address and additional details.
In just 6 stops in the greater Portland OR area you can talk with 12 PNW Glass Guild members and see (and buy) their amazing work: bowls, pendants, glass landscapes, lamps and more. Most sites have demos and some have fun projects. All 6 studios are part of the drawing for a $100 gift certificate. See the event listing for the map, artist info and all the fun details. Print the flyer for the drawing form (or pick it up at your first stop).
