It can be formed, carved, stamped, folded and molded, formed with fused stained glass and may even be set with stones! Mary has been a metal artist since 1969 and is an advanced PMC Instructor and member of the PMC Guild. Her own jewelry will also be available for sale.

We will have a hands-on silk painting demonstration from 4:30-5:30pm, hosted by Michelle Sottile-Smith, a Petaluma artist returning to Aurora Colors for a 2nd holiday season. Watch or experience this soothing art form. Participants ages 12 and up will paint an ocean theme on a 72″ by 15″ charmeuse silk scarf using sponges and brushes. All may enter a free raffle for the scarf. Michelle has been creating art to wear for many years and is already offering her painted silk and velvet scarves with gorgeous foil prints in our gift shop.

Drawings for both raffles will be at 5pm on Sunday, Dec. 7th. You need not be present to win. Aurora Colors Gallery & Glass Art Center, blending an art glass studio with the finest in fine art. 145 Kentucky St., Petaluma
