SUMMARY:Susan Forker | joeyfivecents | Show and Sale | September 24\, 5-7pm
DESCRIPTION:Susan Forker | joeyfivecents \nStoried jewelry and vintage style inspired by boxes of musty antique books and vintage ephemera \nSusan Forker draws inspiration from her surroundings – “the natural beauty and wildlife that changes throughout the seasons and the sense of history that is inherent to this area. I source local flea markets and auctions for my materials and often find that I’m drawn to things that may not get used right away but have sparked an idea that needs to grow and develop. Digging through boxes of musty antique books and vintage ephemera is pure inspiration filled with possibilities. I thrive on that connection in my work between the past and the present – to incorporate something old that has been deemed ‘not useful’ or relevant and to present it in a modern context that celebrates its original story is what my jewelry is all about.” \nFriday\, Sept 24th at Freeman Hall\, 181 East Court St\, Doylestown\, PA\, from 5-7 pm. Admission is free. \nSee the Fall Salon Members Show when you are there. \nEnjoy other Book Fest events this weekend at Freeman Hall: \n\nSaturday\, September 25 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. – Book signing.
