In Brief

Art League Craft Exhibition
The 33rd Annual Rehoboth Art League Members’ Craft Exhibition will be held from June 2 through July 16. This unique and imaginative exhibit features a wide variety of both whimsical and functional pieces of artwork, including baskets, calligraphy, ceramics, fibers, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media and wood.

Deborah Appleby, the featured artist, has been in the glass field for over 10 years. Starting with a glass weekend in New York, she then trained at North Carolina’s Penland School of Crafts and the Pilchuck Glass School in the Pacific Northwest. Now in her home state of Delaware, Deb hopes to bring all these styles together in her one-of-a-kind functional pieces that draw on the sea and natural environment of maritime Sussex County.

There will be an opening reception at the Art League, 12 Dodd’s Lane in Henlopen Acres on Friday, June 2 from 5-7 p.m. The show continues through July 16.
