Artist Renee King
Stained Glass Demonstration

JUNE 9, 2020
Renee King invited us into her home studio via Zoom online with a live stream demonstration of creating stained glass art. She demonstrated two pieces, cutting glass shapes and soldering the glass into the design. She showed us her tools, her techniques and more. One of our viewers in Nashville, Tennessee was so enchanted by her Desert Rose piece of stained glass art, Renee sold the piece that night. Renee is a multi-talented, multi-dimensional artist who enjoys several different media, including drying, carving, "wood-burning" and painting gourds.

Porcelain Artist Vixon Sullivan
Porcelain Magnolia Demonstration
Vixon Sullivan & Magnolia

JULY 14, 2020
Award-winning porcelain artist Vixon Sullivan demonstrated how to create one of his signature magnolias to the delight of everyone tuning in to the live-stream demonstration. Vixon has several accomplishments, which includes a collaboration with sculpture artist, Ben Watts, to create the bronze statue of slain civil rights activist, Vernon Dahmer erected in December 2019 at the Forrest County Court House. Vixon is a Trustee and Past-President of SMAA. We were delighted to have him demonstrate as a featured artist during our July meeting.
