Locally Handcrafted Gifts, Cards & Artwork

Please join us for Workshops with artist Frederick Phillips who will demonstrate the unique qualities of Prismacolor Premier coloured pencils and show you different techniques and methods of using these pencils to achieve colour drawings with the richness and depth of an oil painting. ​Fred has worked with Prismacolor pencils for over 25 years and recommends them because their soft wax core means they can be layered and easily blended.
