Just of the few of the items available are muscial instruments from the Folk Music Center, a batik by Kathryn Herrman, ceramics by Eric Darrow, Crispin Gonzalez, and Steve Nagler; glass by Rhys Williams; paintings by Jim Fuller and Annie Marquis; photographs by Tad Beckman and Paul Faulstich; jewelry by Rochelle Darrow; antique jewelry and prints; and much more. A few of the items are shown below (glare prevented photographing more). Proceeds from the auction support the Friends’ Newsletter and provide some assistance to the field station.
