I don't know how many of you are members of the Ontario Crafts Council but they recently had their annual Maker Shaker event! What a party!!!

I drove down earlier in the day as I had errands to run and a grandson to visit. Then I met up with the others at the club at 5 Brock Street. Jane Thelwell drove down some others....Joan Heaton (president of the Kingston Artis Council) and Alexi and Marielle from Kingston Glass Studio.

| Jane and Joan shmooze! |
Here Jane and Joan chat with friends. If the photos seem strange colours it's because of the huge light in the main room that kept changing colours!

| Marielle & Alexi |
Her are Marielle and Alexi in front of the room in which the auction items were displayed. Donations came from artist but also supporters. One was a night in Montreal, my friend
Karen Franzen bid and won that. Jane always bids on and goes home with more art too.

Brenda, ex of Kingston
Arts & Letters Club, showed up and Jane and she spent time catching up.

| Hand made 'shaker' glasses. |
If you paid $30 you got to keep your glass and have a great martini in it. Otherwise the food and drink flowed, great martinis (named after craft techniques like Batik Blue) all included in your price of admission ($25 for OCC Members), important to starving artists
