Flower making is one of
Bay Avenue Gallery’s most
popular classes in its studio,
and it shows. Artists have
made a rainbow of colors
and an abundance of shapes
with glass and ceramic low-

objects enhance open spaces
as they relect sunlight on a
clear day. Shelly Alexander
has updated her glass low-
ers, bugs and birds.
Handmade birdbaths are
in their irst year. Studio
artists have created beautiful
table and standing models,
featuring ish, shells, insects
and birds. These are made of
ceramics or concrete. After
several months of work, the
designs are ready to be on
display.
