Madera Architectural Elements presents New Works, Small Works and The Works - Our Annual Party!
 
The artisan members of MAE are known throughout the region for crafting outstanding custom furnishings and architectural elements.  Each year they get together to showcase their lighter, more portable creations - original, affordable and perfect for holiday gifting (or keeping!).  This year they have invited a few friends to join in the fun: 
  • Andy Lewis-Lechner returns to Madera with his beautiful wood-fired stoneware
  • Artist-Designer-Creative Prolific Scott Neste presents original mixed medium artworks
  • Jennevieve Schlemmer is leaving her mosaics at home and bringing a menagerie of felted creations
  • Chris Wooten is showcasing her intricate assemblages of bamboo, wire, beads and who-knows-what!  
And for something completely different we are proud to be presenting Urban Elixir - the cure for the common cocktail.  U.E. is a new, woman-owned Tacoma business venture creating artisan-made cocktail mixers.  Their mission statement is to create exceptional, hand-crafted cocktail mixers and encourage giving back to our world in meaningful ways. They will be unveiling (and sampling!) 3 mixers at our event: Margarita, Bloody Mary and Potion #3.
  
If you cannot make the Gala opening on Saturday 11/19, we will be hosting a sneak peek during ArtWalk Thursday 11/17 5-8pm and the show will run through December 21.
