Gallery Space Spotlights Bead Artist Cari Ordway

LACONIA — The Gallery Space is proud to spotlight creative bead artist Cari Ordway for the month of December.

Cari is owner of Bead Devine in Gilford and has been beading for 10 years. She is presently completing her requirements in the Master Beader Program in Deerfield. She has expanded her skills of bead weaving to include silver and precious metal clay designs over the past year.

She reflects on this exhibition by saying, " This is an opportunity for me to share my original pieces and skills with the Lakes Region Community that has inspired my designs."

In addition to exhibiting her creative pieces in the Gallery Space she will also be demonstrating her skills, conducting hands on workshops, and offering supplies on Saturday, December 7 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the Studio Workshop at FCAC at 27 Canal Street in Downtown Laconia.

This event is a part of the Downtown Laconia Christmas Open House and will be part of the continuing efforts of the Gallery Space to collaborate with local businesses, artists, photographers, printmakers, and sculptors to promote the quality work being created in the Lakes Region.

The Art Supply Shoppe will be holding special Christmas discounts throughout the day and the FCAC Art Workshop area will be hosting painting demonstrations, limited edition prints, caricatures, and cartooning workshops. Refreshments will be served during the day.
