The Our Town Foundation in Hamburg is raffling off a birdbath created by children at the 2016 Hamburg Arts Fest.
The birdbath was created by artist Pirjo L’Esperance using the clay ornaments that Clay on Main in Oley helped the children create at last year’s Hamburg Arts Fest when the theme was “the chicken or the egg.”
“We were unable to raffle it last year because it blew up in the kiln when the artist was firing it. She hated to just discard it, so she spent many hours matching up broken pieces and adding mosaic tile and grout to create a new birdbath,” said Our Town Foundation Art Director Dina Madara. “I think it looks great! And I love the chicken feet at the base!”
OTF will begin the raffle immediately and have it available at the 2017 Hamburg Arts Fest on May 20 “where everyone can see it.”
The raffle will continue throughout the summer. Raffle proceeds will benefit the Hamburg Area Art Alliance of the OTF. Purchase raffle tickets at The Art Gallery of Hamburg, 335 State Street, Hamburg, during regular hours: Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Details about the Gallery of Hamburg, the Hamburg Area Arts Alliance and the Our Town Foundation are also available by calling 610-562-3106 or visit hamburgpa.org/Our-Town-Foundation.
