Alamo Jewelry, Fine Art, & Craft Show

Painters, jewelers, sculptors and other artisans will be gathering at Alamo Plaza Shopping Center for the annual “Alamo Jewelry, Fine Art and Craft Show”.

This popular two-day event will be held Saturday, and Sunday, May 10 & 11 from 10 AM to 6 PM.

This year’s show features original works of art including paintings, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, fiber art, glass, woodwork, mixed media, photography and more.

The fine jewelry of artisans Fran & Jerry Harr represents the exceptional quality of artistry presented at the Alamo festival. This husband and wife team has been designing, fabricating and selling their original 14K gold and silver jewelry for 23 years. Each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind and is completely hand constructed. Clean lines, pleasing abstracts and careful attention to detail are characteristic of their work.

Also featured will be the pottery of David Yager. Collectors from throughout Europe and the United States have purchased his work. His pottery is known for its classic shapes and high-fire cobalt blue glazes. David studied glazing techniques for two years with New York ceramic artist, Michael Lucero, whose work is shown in the Smithsonian.

“This celebration of Art offers a great opportunity for collectors to meet with and purchase directly from some of the West Coast’s most talented artists and artisans,” said festival director John Holland.

To reach the Alamo Plaza take the Stone Valley Rd.West Exit from Hwy. 680, then turn right 1 block on Danville Blvd.

Admission to the festival is free.
