Raku Party

SOLD OUT!

NAA Clay Studio FUNdraiser
Sponsored by Thomas Gennette & George Cooper

The Raku party is a FUNdraising event that allows participants to experience the
dramatic glaze firing of a ceramic pot.  
Participants purchase a pre-made pot and then glaze it with a choice of Raku glazes.  
The pot is then dried and warmed, before being placed in the Raku kiln.  
Experienced potters will fire your pot as you watch, usually within 30 and 45 minutes.  
You will take home your personal pottery, memories of a day of fun with new friends
and the satisfaction of supporting the NAA Clay Studio.

Space is Limited - $60

The NAA welcomes many returning artists along with new artists to share their work with the art lovers throughout Northern Michigan. We are thrilled to have artists coming to paint throughout the tip of Leelanau Peninsula and the Village of Northport.

These amazing, diverse artists capture the beauty of the village, beaches, marina, orchards, vineyards, landscapes and landmarks. Their interpretation of our special peninsula rewards viewers with artistry that reflects the magic of our area.

Northport Arts Association is presenting
a very special event celebrating
its founding, visionary members.

Who are founding members? They are the group of people that came together in 2013-2014 (as documented in meeting minutes). They paved the way with their time, vision, dedication and passion to make the NAA what it is today.

The Board and Members of today’s NAA would love to honor their contributions. As part of event, we have invited them to showcase their art, of any medium, in the NAA gallery exhibit entitled “The Originals: NAA Founders Showcase, A Retrospective of NAA’s Roots”

Please join us for an Opening Reception Saturday, August 23, 4-7 PM, where we will recognize and celebrate our founders. This gathering is a heartfelt tribute and an opportunity to reconnect with fellow artists and supporters.

We hope everyone will attend and be part of this memorable occasion.

With appreciation from the entire Board of Northport Arts Association
and its Members:
Sheen Watkins, President Betsy Ernst, Director
Linda Bayer, Vice President Kathy Haynes, Director
Linda Gits, Treasurer Tami Maisel, Director
Lisa Westling, Secretary Jayne Robinson, Director
Chris Woomer, Director
