OPELIKA — Opelika ArtHaus will host the Windhorse Winter Workshop Series Feb. 23-25. A variety of workshops will be offered during the weekend. Visit windhorsestudio.com/events for details and to pre-register.
Participating artists offering the workshops include:
Mary Catherine Lowery (@marycatherinelowery | www.marycatherinelowery.com)
Paintings that intertwine the realms of traditional landscapes and contemporary abstractions.
Barbara Birdsong Designs (@barbarabirdsongdesigns | www.barbarabirdsongdesigns.com )
Unique handmade jewelry collections, each a symphony of feelings and natural findings, each reflecting her love of jewelry making. At the heart of it all, Barbara is a creator-driven by love – a love for people, life itself, and the art of making things. She gathers stories, stones, and inspiration from her travels, the beautiful community around her, and the wonders of her backyard, weaving them into her pieces to tell a story of love, hope, and presence.
Margaret Cunningham (@margaretscunningham)
Artful organic ceramic sculptures that double as unique table features
