Southern States Symposium, 1st session
The first session is getting off to a bit of a rough start. The sound system is not working in one of the 5 rooms — the one I’m in. Carole Floate is giving an interesting presentation on ‘marbling’ wood. Luckily, she said that she will email us instructions. I look forward to giving this […]

Fifteen organizations contribute to the Full House exhibition, displaying […]
