There was a lot going on at Friday’s Artfête Open House and Holiday Party, so we can’t blame you if you didn’t get a chance to see everything. If you’re wondering what you missed, here are some photos — and please check out our Facebook album for more!

There were instructor demos, as always — silk screen artist Nancy McIntyre (below) had a station for Artfête attendees to make and take home their own Artfête poster. Nancy Freeman previewed her Spring term class, Apps for Artists, with some art apps on her iPad. Ceramics chair Blair Meerfeld was working at the potter’s wheel, Joe Mullins discussed forensic sculpture, and Hermineh Miller was demonstrating calligraphy.
