Catching Up With BigThicket Porcelain Art Club

2014 - 2015 President Janet Wartenburg

Big Thicket has been busy all summer getting ready for the up coming Holidays.  Our auction and Christmas Party will be at Pappadouxs in The Woodlands, Dec 4, 2014.  This year's main pieces for auction were beautifully done by Helen Turner, a gorgeous floral vase and Jan Wamsley a magnificent clock. They have both done a wonderful job - as well as all the members who have painted night and day on pieces for the sale table. There will be painted crosses, necklaces, and cups and saucers for purchase. We are all looking forward to, and are excited about, the quickly approaching season to be jolly!
