A big shout out to Tracy Bruton for arranging the speaker (her former student Ceramicist Kendle Durden) and the great photographs of September's Meeting!


Tracy Bruton (president and Program Chair): "Excellent presentation on this beautiful day by ceramic artist Kendle Durden. This talented artist is creative, informative, and funny. You just want to grab a cup of coffee and hang out. Her work is technically sound while being ever so whimsical and fun. She was so generous with her insights. Well done!"

Loads of networking going on, connections being made, techniques being shared, encouragement offered. Sounds like fun doesn’t it? Join us!

Program by Artist LaDonna Greiner: "I'm Here for a Purpose"


LaDonna Greiner is an author and photographer whose work is based on gratitude. At our October meeting she will share the journey that led her to write her most recent book, “I’m Here for a Purpose.”  Her book includes striking photographs and true stories of her hiking adventures such as surviving a lighting and rainstorm on a freezing January night atop Taum Sauk Mountain. As you might imagine, she’s grateful to be alive! She has authored other books, including “21 Reasons to Say Thank You to Your Coworkers and “21 Reasons to Say Thank You with a Grateful Heart.” These books include the benefits of living gratefully and guide you through 21 suggested notes of gratitude. All three books and other related items will be available for purchase at the meeting.


Members and guests are invited to bring 1-2 piece of their art for "show and share."​ This is a fun time of sharing, socializing, and enjoying light refreshments. ​
