Connecticut River Artisans is proud and happy to celebrate Andrea Aron as our Artist of the Month for September. In truth we, have been celebrating with Andrea a good deal this year.
Andrea was both surprised and honored to be selected as a “Connected Art Hero” for 2019 by the Connecticut office of the Arts. She also received one of the “Emerging Artist” awards for the Guilford Craft Expo for her jewelry and enamel work.
Andrea taught Jewelry and Ceramics at New London High School for 34 years. She is currently teaching at Wesleyan Potters in Middletown. Andrea’s focus is on the contrast of textured metal and color using gemstones and enameled glass with silver.
It isn’t necessary to take a class, or attend an award ceremony to meet Andrea and see her beautiful work. Join us at Connecticut River Artisans Cooperative for her reception which will be held at our shop at 55 Main Street, Essex, CT.
The gathering is on Sunday, September 1, 2019 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Meet some of our Artists and Crafters and enjoy wine and goodies. As part of our celebration, Andrea’s work will be discounted on that day.
