The annual Artisan Faire, and complimentary wine tasting, will take place Thursday, November 15 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at the Orinda Country Club. Participating artists include George Lucido who, after retiring as an aerospace engineer more than a decade ago, followed his ancestors' love of woodworking by crafting wood objects; Gerry Wallace, known for her whimsical teapots, serving plates, jewelry and Christmas ornaments; Gail Solt, the vision behind the Artisan Faire, whose necklaces quickly sell out. In addition, local authors Jim Roethe and Jil Plummer will be signing their books, and Kellee Bachour will show her line of children's clothing. Two dozen artists will showcase fashion art, glasswork, jewelry, painting, photography and gourd art. Gift wrapping by Miramonte High School students will be available on site. |
