The Huachuca Art Association has talented crafters and they will be displaying their wonderful items at the gallery in Herford. Find painted gourds and lovely Christmas decorations, handcrafted jewelry, handmade tiles, dolls, photo cards, Christmas cards, matted prints, pottery, paintings — too much to mention it all. Come and look for these artistic gifts and there will be even discounted items. Sue Ziegler and Claudia Apperson co-chair this event.

Ziegler is a craft-oriented person and does gourd and scratch art. Her lace Christmas angels make a Christmas tree very special. She also gave a craft class at the Huachuca Art Association. Sue and her husband moved to Sierra Vista from Littleton, Mass., four years ago. She was a librarian working with small children and later with young adults; she was in the PTSA and volunteers here for the Friends of the Library.

Claudia Apperson was born in El Paso, Texas, and lived many years in Phoenix before moving to Sierra Vista in 2002. She took art classes offered by the public schools, college level classes and is still taking workshops today. She feels she is her truest and best self when producing even the smallest piece. She became a free-lanced art teacher in Phoenix in the 70s. Working primarily in oil or pastel, pen and ink and recently scratchboard illustration, she has received several ribbons at judged shows in Southwestern Arizona.

The rmeet the artists reception will be Dec. 6 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the HAA Gallery in Hereford, 3818 Astro St., south of Highway 92. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The show will run from Dec. 5 to 28.
