What are you doing this afternoon–or next Saturday?
How would you like to paint and be creative, in an art studio–for a good cause, and for free?
Artists Gayle Fleury and Regina Fernandez, of Seaside Studios San Pedro, would like to have you come down and paint a bowl, at no charge. Their studio’s open from 10 this morning till 3 this afternoon, and next Saturday. They’ll fire your finished masterpiece in their kiln, and use it in another two weeks for an exciting new community project…

…to which you’re invited.
Meanwhile, as you visit with Gayle and Regina, you might just like to see what they’ve been making. Gayle is the proprietor of Aussie Girl Designs, and she designs some fantastic accessories. She was wearing a very fun handcrafted kangaroo necklace the last time we stopped by. (Her dragonfly one is pretty breathtaking, too.) Regina, who’s the owner of Port Town Pottery, comes up with ceramic creations that range from whimsical and warm to out-and-out beautiful. (Her Christmas angels and trees are a favorite, but be sure to ask to see her “lace” designs, they are gorgeous!)
And if you’d like to learn “how to” with these talented ladies, Gayle teaches a jewelry-making class every Saturday morning at 10. Meanwhile, Regina teaches ceramics on Monday afternoons at 4, and you can call her at (562) 673-7660 if you’d like more information on either class.
Have a great and creative weekend! Oh, one more thing.
When you go to Seaside Studios San Pedro, beware of the wild “dingo”. She’s a total sweetheart and may love you half to death.
Seaside Studios San Pedro, located at 525 North Harbor Boulevard, Suite 3, are located between Beacon and O’Farrell Streets, across from the dancing fountains. Regina and Gayle would welcome you to come and glaze (paint) a bowl, for free, in support of Empty Bowls San Pedro, both this Saturday, January 17th, from 10 am to 3 pm, and next, January 24th, which will be the final Saturday for painting before the Empty Bowls Soup Supper on Saturday, February 7th.
