A New Commission
The latest from Jennie's studio, a sketch for a commission featuring her clients' love of pharmacy and cooking.
So much new work has been created by TraillWorks' students that we're having a hard time keeping up with sharing it all with you! Many of my students have been working in ceramics and watercolors. Below
are a few examples of the works they've done - animal renderings,
character development and cartoon creation, and ceramic jewelry and
carvings. Here's just a taste below of some of the completions in the past month. But, for a real treat, visit the gallery during March for our annual student show where you'll have a chance to see in person the talent in our students.

We have openings in our Thursday 4pm group (Age 7 - 9); there's interest in forming a Friday afternoon lesson for young children (Age 5 - 6); and we're now offering a 9am Saturday adult lesson (we have 3 spots). If any of these interest you, please give us a call!

Jennie always has a strong interest in giving back to the community; whether through volunteering her time in one of many organizations, or in collecting coats for the United Way. Frequently, she has donated a portion of sales from exhibits to a variety of causes. During this exhibit, Jennie will donate 10% of all sales of her work to Memorial Sloan- Kettering Lung Cancer Research in honor of her mother-in-law, Judy Goldberg, who survived lung cancer in 2011! Lung cancer has touched Jennie's life directly twice, through her mother-in-law, and also in the loss of her grandmother, Clarice, to lung cancer in her early 70s. Additionally, she'll be offering her work at special pricing, 10% off.
