Lots of artists showed up for the annual cleaning at Lost River Artisans Cooperative in Lost River WV to get ready for the opening weekend over Easter. Most work will be installed this week since the dust balls have been removed, after lots of sneezing on my part! Also arriving on the beautiful Saturday were plenty of lovely ladybugs. It simply was a gorgeous day and a beautiful hour and a half ride on back country roads. After the cleanup came a wonderful spread of potluck for everyone to munch on. What a crowd we had, so you can just imagine how nice the munchies were - there was actually an entire
ham and the largest darn chocolate chip cookies I've ever had! Yes, I had to have one! Everything was delish.
What a nice group to hang with for a while. There was the cheery Albert Hutchings (aka Mr. President!) and the wonderful manager Kathy Welch there to arrange the cleaning and display and help everyone get their applications in for the day. Don't know how they stayed on top the large group that descended on the barn for checkin and cleaning. Heck, I even saw one of my old Cumberland artist friends in the midst of all the hustle and bustle - Anita Rickenberg! She was the lovely lady who told me about LRAC years ago and dec
ided to bring in her fabulous ceramic work for the year. Can't wait to see the beautiful juried work from what looks like a talented group of artists. If you get a chance, swing by the area and check out my work and the work of about 70 other artists! The trip will be well worth it. Visit
