Create a picture using materials hand-picked off New England beaches. Local artist Kerry Consentino-Vilorio, owner of The Orange Jellyfish, will demonstrate how to create beautiful custom pebble art and sea glass designs. Then, you will unleash your creativity as you design and make your own custom pebble art picture, using various styles of beach sea glass, pottery, stones, driftwood and shells. Each design will be glued on to cardstock and enclosed within an 8x8 glass frame. You will be able to work at your own pace, with a great deal of autonomy, within a relaxed environment. Feel free to bring any special beach, shells, stones or sea glass from home that you may want to incorporate within your picture. While the frame color for all will be gray lacquer, the cardstock colors available for selection will be white, light crème, or light blue. The finished product will be something you can display proudly, or give to someone as a special gift. Limited to 25.
