the Varley Art Gallery in lovely downtown Unionville. As well as showing our finished
pieces, some of us will be demonstrating the techniques we use to create our artwork. Come
by, chat with us, watch the demos, look through the artwork for sale, stay for a coffee.
Oh, and don’t forget to fill out a ballot for a chance to win a piece of artwork
