July 3rd Art After Dark
“Artist Showcase”

Scarlet Paintbrush Studio

Blair brought white line printmaking at Making SLO for Art After Dark last July 3rd.

She showed how a single carved block gets hand-inked with different colors to create prints that are completely one-of-a-kind. Watching the process live gave visitors a true appreciation for the artistry behind every piece.


Welcome Our New Maker!

Madre Mar

Allisson of Madre Mar transforms repurposed shells saved from waste into handcrafted jewelry and trinket dishes, magnets, wine stoppers, and other coastal keepsakes. Each shell is thoughtfully transformed with hand-painted and decoupage details, giving every piece a beautiful and unique second life.
