JUDY MCLAWHORN | CONTRIBUTED
GRAND OPENING: MATTIE Arts Center will celebrate the grand opening of its new “Down Draft” Studio at the center on July 24 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to help us raise our glasses and toast all the wonderful contributors who made this new installation possible where you can learn how to do glass engraving, waterfowl carving, woodworking, gourd art, and more! This photo was taken several weeks ago. We are still in the process of some final touches. Classes will start in August. Call Judy McLawhorn at 252-943-8991 for early enrollments.
