OCTOBER
ARTS EVENTS EJ Hughes Gallery & Excellent Frameworks
Susan Whitham of Mirasol Studio at Excellent Frameworks “Artistic expression has always been my saving grace, my driving force, my sense of sanity. My love of clay began as a small child. Multiple decades later clay is still the tangible substance that I best express myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Clay is a sort of communication device between me and the outside world. I don’t question my need to create. I pass along my experience through creating, appreciating, listening and teaching. Enjoy every minute of it!” - Susan Whitham Excellent Frameworks Home of the EJ Hughes Gallery 115 Kenneth St., Downtown Duncan 250-746-7112 excellentframeworks.ca
