Glassware from Nancy Roarke above, and my husband Elmore Holmes demonstrating bowl carving below. Come by and say hi to us -- we'll be there all weekend. Raku pottery by Bruce Odell. He's just across from us in the demonstration area and puts on a great show with open flame to get that amazing glaze texture. The crafts fair continues today -- 10-6 on Saturday and 10-5 on Sunday. Come out and see beautiful handmade works of all kinds!
Park Friends is the only non-profit group in Memphis dedicated to providing a community voice to all our public parks. We are a Midtown-based group that focus our volunteer efforts on Overton Park, the grand old park of the Memphis, but speak out on park issues facing the entire community. I'm the current Park Friends president, but this blog contains my personal thoughts about the park and park issues across Memphis. Any opinions given are my own and not board ratified positions.
Visit the Park Friends website at parkfriends.net for more information about the group.
