- Hi Everyone!
We have yet another busy show season ahead of us, and we've updated our coming events page so you can see when we'll be in "your neck of the woods." We'll be adding new shows as we get accepted. Things change quickly though, right after our last update it was announced that due to the drought in Georgia the Annual Dogwood Festival, held in Piedmont Park will be relocated. No word on where yet, but the fair organizers have promised us information within a week. For our complete schedule click on this link http://thespringgallery.com/exhibitions.html
Kathrine has a new batch of Valentines fresh off the drawing board. We decided to do a "Virtual Valentine Show" this year, as we are both really busy trying to keep up with our regular work. This is a tiny show, only 9 pieces available, to be among the first to see them click here http://thespringgallery.com/valentines.html

We've been thinking about our next Patron Sponsored Show, and it looks like we will be planning a trip to Ireland! We will be sending out information in the next few weeks, if you think you'd be interested in collecting a little bit o' Ireland, let us know and we'll tell you how it all works!
