Creative Gifts by Local Artists at Cabbagetown Clay and Glass Works

by Riki Bolster

GRANT PARK — A dusting of frost. Cold, cold mornings. Black Friday. We survived them all.  Now it’s time to turn our thoughts to creative gift giving.  For a great selection of one-of-a-kind gifts, Cabbagetown Clay and Glass Works, a non-profit artists’ cooperative, invites you to its 12th Annual Holiday Sale. Friday night, December 6, is the gallery’s Holiday Opening Night, from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. You can enjoy refreshments and beverages while shopping and visiting with artist members. The gallery features fused glass , thrown and hand-built ceramic art, including Christmas ornaments, functional pieces, and sculptures.

As an added bonus on Opening Night, there will be a raffle of a special CCGW gnome, painted by Heather Colbaugh. You can purchase a raffle ticket or make a purchase over $10 from any artist in the studio.  Another way to participate is to send a Paypal donation of $5 or more per ticket to ccgworks@gmail.com. The drawing of the winning ticket will be Friday night at 9 p.m. You do not have to be present to win.
