Our Meet the Artist event at Hanamiya was fantastic! Over 100 people turned out to support of our project and some of the cups sold out and have been put on special order. A huge thank you to Steve and Helen Rindsberg for all of their work in getting this event organized and to Teruko and her family for being such wonderful hosts. The spread of food and drinks was awesome. Thank you also to volunteers Mary Winklejohn, Stacey Finnessey, Christine Lucas & Kierstin Griffin for all your help.
Thank you to everyone who came out and bought pieces and donated to our project. Your support is appreciated!.
Finally, a special thank you goes to Ikuhiko Shibata, whose incredible ceramic work made this event possible. Your compassion and amazing artistic skill is appreciated so much. Thank you!
