Last night was the reception for "Beneath the Surface" at TLD Design Center in Westmont, IL. I had the chance to meet and chat with Joann Murdock and Mary Dillon and the Design Center's director, Tammy Deck. The show continues through April 1. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 11 to 6 pm.
TLD Design Center offers classes and work space for fiber artists and other artisans. They even offer metal smithing, which I will enroll my youngest in next Fall.

Come one come all! TLD Design Center is an incubator of fine craft and fiber arts. I wish I lived closer and could hang out there. I have three wall pieces on display with a few other artists. I'm looking forward to seeing the show.
