The night is going to heat up fast with LIVE blacksmithing, raku pottery, and open-flame glass bead-making demonstrations with artists Robert Burns, Dan Kuhn and Darlene Durrwachter-Rushing. As the sun drops below the riverbank, grab a drink and sample the tastes of the Strip District while taking stock of more than 100 silent auction items, such as Jason Forck?s piece On the Surface?a stunning textured glass sculpture that mimics the intricate pattern of tree bark?or jeweler Kat Cole?s stunning and convertible Tin Brooch/Steel Converter Necklace. Before the evening is over, try your own hand at making with SCC artists at one of our 7 hands-on stations.?
