Mosaic Art
Posted May 30th, 2008 by Sue Steiner
Mosaic art has a rich and varied history that goes back thousands of years. In today’s culture it is appealing on several different levels. Often the mosaic pieces are made from recycled materials such as broken glass or tiles and can be made into sturdy, decorative and functional art. On July 12 Lehman’s will be hosting an art festival featuring local artists and craftsman sharing their wares and doing demonstrations. Artist Melody Kirby will bring her beautiful mosaic crosses to show and sell. Other artists who will be in attendance at the festival include potters, painters, woodturners, wool rug hookers, fiber artist, gourd artist, mural artists in addition to musicians, special food and kids activities!

Singing Shari Lewis’ “The Song That Doesn’t End” with the kids, during the drive into school in the morning, requires nothing less than a marketing meeting to be rid of. Terrible stuff!
