Christmas at the Castle - Come to the Irish Cultural Center (ICC) and visit the the only castle in Phoenix! I’ll be part of the Christmas event on Sat., Dec. 6, with other artisans, where I’ll be making custom Ogham jewelry, an ancient Celtic language, on the spot. I’ll take your order with your first, last or any name, and you can pick it up before you leave the event. Come get yours!

SAQA FIERCE PLANETS - Laurie Fagen’s art quilt “Sun with Mercury” is one of 42 pieces juried into the “Fierce Planets” show for Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), an international organization of art quilters. The show premieres at the Louisiana State University Museum of Art through July 28 and will travel until 2028. Fagen's image is a photo from an original painting by the late artist Bonnie Lou Coleman, digitally transferred to fabric and heavily thread-painted with metallic and rayon threads.

This exhibition will travel until end of 2027
