Crow Valley Pottery’s 16th Annual Garden Art Show opens Friday, June 28 with a reception at the historic Cabin Shop from 4 to 7 p.m.

The focus of this year’s show is the use of natural and re-purposed materials in art. The show runs from  June 28 to July 15. Call the shop at 376-4260 for additional information.

With the availability of imported wares and copies of traditional American crafts, this year’s show has offerings by local and regional artists and craftsmen utilizing long established techniques.

From collections in ceramics, metal and glass come hand-made pieces from flower pots to garden accents.

Another popular northwest style is art created from ‘found-objects’ or ‘re-purposed’ materials.  Where old and frequently discarded items are re-used to create new functional and decorative pieces.

Crow Valley Pottery is also a supporter of the Orcas Island Garden Tour, and offers special discounts on garden art when tour tickets are presented at the garden show on Saturday and Sunday.
