Redwood City, CA - Twinkling lights on the porch, glowing antique floors and lots of Victorian details create a setting for Very Merry Art at Main and the work of The Main Gallery artists. Contemporary art at affordable prices mixed with fine craft provides something unique for everyone.

Works include polished clay "Emu Eggs" by Norma Lyon carry the mark of her special firing process. They not only feel and look good, but give off a soft rattle; Karen Truesdell's clay head whistles and one of a kind ornaments; Jeff Carlick's colorful raku vases and sculptural forms; Susan
Wolf's special Christmas plates and lots of artist-potter stoneware are found in the glassed pottery room.

Hand-painted silk scarves, lavender sachets and one of a kind evening bags by Linda Gass were made using an ancient Japanese technique of wax resist dyeing called Roketsu-zome. The process dates back to 710 AD and was used to add patterning to kimono silks. Layers of silk dyes and special smooth wax are applied with a brush to create the designs.

Print stands overflow with original photography: hand colored, holga images, landscapes, nudes and digitally manipulated images.

Paintings include Audrey Guerin's small lyrical landscapes, inspired by the California scene, are joyful mixed-media florals.

From cards to paintings, the gallery's six rooms offer a stimulating one-of-a-kind experience.
