MAKE ONE & TAKE ONE - This is a chance to make a few of your very own holiday ornaments and a few for the Guild to sell as a holiday fundraiser. Drop-in and join us for this short session (no pre-registration is required). We'll have dried okra pods for painted santas, clothespin reindeer, wooden hearts, ribbon, dried greenery, glue, and more available to work with. Donna will lead you through various design options! Ornament making is FREE, however cash donations are greatly appreciated (but not mandatory).

ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR: Donna Parrish spent most of her early life in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. With a degree in mathematics and a teaching certificate, she began a long and evolving career in education—a path she continues to explore and develop. After many years immersed in a primarily analytical world, Donna turned her attention to the arts, exploring diverse media that offer new depth and balance to her life. This creative journey has opened up space for joy and peace, which she experiences deeply while working with materials like beads, polymer clay, and vibrant acrylics on canvas. Her jewelry, often simple in design, carries a sense of casual elegance, allowing the natural beauty of the stones and beads to take center stage. In her abstract paintings, Donna embraces rich textures and passionate colors, striving to create work that uplifts and inspires. Donna served on the Guild Board of Directors as Treasurer from 2012-2024 and is currently involved with the Guild as a Member and Volunteer.
