The Filberg Festival

Laura and I had a real treat on Sunday when we went up to Comox, BC to catch The Filberg Festival.
The principal objective of The Filberg Festival has been to encourage excellence in all forms of arts and crafts, and to assist in the promotion and sale of quality work. The Festival has established a world wide reputation for the excellence of the work of our juried artisans working in many media.

Here are the artists that caught our eye at the festival;

Kristeen Verge – Visual Artist

Melt250 – Funky Art Metal

Water Works – Garden Sculpture

Leslie Bergeron – Ceramic/Raku Artist

Illuminati – Glassworks

Christy Mitchell – Contemporary Fine Art

Here’s of few of my pics;
