Miniature Rustic Garden Bench at Rend Lake

Miniature rustic twig garden bench by George C. Clark (back height approximately 6 inches)

One of the new pieces of my miniature rustic twig furniture currently on display at the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop just off Interstate 57 at Rend Lake.  Sharp-eyed readers may recognize it as the demonstration piece I made at my Woodlanders Gathering workshop at Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts in July.  It appears at the upper right in the photo I posted July 14th.

New Batch of Miniature Rustic Twig Furniture on Display At Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake

New miniature furniture logged in, labeled, and carted up for delivery to the sales gallery at S.I.A.S.

Since the previous batches of my miniature rustic twig furniture had mostly sold out, I was very pleased to deliver some new pieces to the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake last week.  They have been showing and selling my work for over two years now, but this was my first visit there.  The S.I.A.S. features two large galleries of art and crafts for sale by hundreds of Illinois artists.  A third gallery is a branch of the Illinois State Museums (an institution that I'm proud to say owns two of my paintings) and features changing curated exhibitions.  The Southern Illinois Artisans Shop is located just off of Interstate 57 in the popular Rend Lake recreation district.
