Meet June’s ArtShop Featured Artist: Rhoda Fleischman ✨

For Rhoda Fleischman, working with clay has always felt natural. As a child, she made small clay pots and left them in the sun to bake, already imagining a future shaped by creativity and making.

Today, Rhoda continues exploring the endless possibilities of clay while also embracing painting as another creative outlet. Describing the process as “magic conjuring up images seemingly from the air,” her work reflects a lifelong curiosity, imagination, and joy for creating by hand.

Rhoda’s work carries a sense of warmth, exploration, and personal storytelling that invites viewers to slow down and connect with the handmade process behind each piece.

Stop by the ArtShop to explore Rhoda’s work alongside handcrafted creations by local artists and makers from across our region.

Cyanotypes with Light Rider Studios

In collaboration with .rider.studios, this month’s 2nd Saturday invites community members of all ages and skill levels to explore cyanotypes, a historic photographic process that uses sunlight to create striking blue prints.

Participants will experiment by layering objects and imagery to create their own one-of-a-kind sun prints to take home. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity and creativity.
