Cheryl Garcia, Jacksonville resident and creator of the huge California Poppies in the Quail Run Vineyard just east of Jacksonville, showed how she creates art from metal. Standing in a shaded corner of the beautiful South Stage Cellars Tasting Room on South 3rd Street, Cheryl created lovely pieces of art on Saturday, June 25 before an intrigued audience. Using her blowtorch, she twisted and shaped steel just as she does in her home studio to demonstrate how she crafts her amazing metal works.
Publishers Whit & Jo Parker were thrilled to buy the completed weather vane for their garden – see photo below!
