New to The Gift Shop

We have many new artists in The Gift Shop who have joined us from Holiday Market 2017.
This week we will see the work of three of our new artists: Linda Ruehle, Brenda Shackleford, and Motawi Tileworks.

Linda Ruehle (RUE) is a clay artist whose work is very distinctive; in her designs, and her beautiful glazes.
