The September artist at Edgewater Gallery is Margaret Paul. Paul has been creating spoon/fork jewelry for 11 years, and eight years ago she began learning the techniques of making precious metal clay jewelry at the Mendocino Art Center. Now, she has an array of pendants and earrings of different styles on display at the gallery. Having been a ceramicist some twenty years ago, she feels totally at home working with precious metal clay. Her technique of transferring crochet patterns to porcelain was carried over in her precious metal clay pieces. Although she is still selling spoon/fork jewelry, the demand for her fine silver jewelry has her busily making more. Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served. Masks are optional. Edgewater Gallery is located at 356 North Main Street in Fort Bragg. For more information, call 707-964-4668 or visit www.edgewater-gallery.com.
