The Museum Exhibit is open!

Last week, to much fanfare, our "Studio Made: Santa Cruz Woodworkers" exhibit opened at the Museum of Art and History in Santa Cruz. There was first an invitation-only opening for Museum members, and then we had a general "opening" for the public during First Friday, which included a noon walk-through with the makers that gave us a chance to really get to interact with the public. Both were very well attended (I heard over 800 people came to the First Friday evening reception), and everyone was in agreement that the quality and range of works was very impressive
