I have clear memories of my mother sitting in her rocker besides her kitchen fireplace crocheting a baby blanket for the next new arrival. Of my dad lovingly creating a piece of furniture in his workshop. I come from a family of makers. People who appreciate the value of a thing well made by hand. The WARMTH show honors the work of 6 artists who also appreciate the beauty and value of handmade. Join us for the Nov and Dec Cheyenne First Friday Artwalks where you can meet the artists, purchase handmade gifts and enjoy a warm drink and homemade treats. See you there!
