Second Saturday at the Workhouse: Raku to Go

This past weekend was the Winter Works celebration in conjunction with Second Saturday at the Workhouse Arts Center. The holiday season brings with it a unique charm, making volunteering during this time even more special. A delightful opportunity to reconnect with friends whom I have not seen in a while. 

In the festive ambiance of the ceramics studio, surrounded by the spirit of creativity, we helped the patrons select pots, glaze them and then enjoy the spectacle of the Raku experience! It was such a pleasure to see families and friends crafting something together creating lasting memories in the form of unique, handmade art. 

Volunteering during the holiday season is a heartwarming blend of community service, friendship rekindling, and creative collaboration, making it a truly special experience.

11th Annual Artist Teacher Exhibition

    The Workhouse exhibited the artwork of the art educators from Fairfax County Public schools this month. This was the 11th year we have had the opportunity to share our work with the community! It is pretty thrilling to see all the of the incredible talent we have here in FCPS! It is even more impressive knowing these individuals share their skills with the communities public school children on a daily basis in their studio classrooms. I am always proud to see my artwork hanging side by side with these talented and hard working fellow educators!
