FORT DAVIS — Webb’s Fair and Square gallery will host a jewelry show featuring works by Margaret Sullivan this Saturday, May 24, from noon to 5 p.m.
The gathering will feature refreshments, porch sitting, music and art. The gallery is located in the old Masonic Lodge at 105 N. Front St.
The Webbs have hosted a yearly jewelry show for the past 10 years to celebrate Sullivan’s work and her birthday. “Come out for some fun with Margaret, some laughs, and a chance to buy some kick ass jewelry,” Julie Webb said. “We have stocked the gallery with all kinds of fun supplies, books, new art by Melissa Lakey and many others!”
Sullivan lives in the Gila National Forest of New Mexico on the Nbar Ranch and makes jewelry just about every day in her solar powered studio. She got the jewelry bug in the late 1980s while working at Half Price Books in Dallas and studying religious reliquaries she found in books. She combines her skills of years of working in silver, gold, and copper with her wit and humor to make jewelry that is all her own design and each piece an individual work of art. She has further studied with Navajo jewelers and is always challenging herself with new interests and subject matter.
