Most venues will remain open for Last Fridays, and many activities will occur as scheduled no matter the forecast. We will only cancel, reschedule, or relocate outdoor activities in the event of dangerous or prohibitive weather. If necessary, we will notify contracted artists and make public announcements on LastFridays.org and social media regarding changes or relocations before 2 PM on event day. Follow us on socials (linked above) to hear first!

DONNA NOLEN-WEATHINGTON
Working with both artists and photographers from around the country, as well as using my own personal photographs, I use a laser-printer toner-transfer technique to create polymer clay pendants with their artwork. I also create custom, one-of-a-kind pendants for clients. In order to create these pendants, I first mix a custom blend of various polymer clays. I then transfer the image to the clay, baking the image, backing, border, and sealing coats in separate steps. Then I use four different grit levels of sanding and buffing to create a river-stone smooth finish for the pendant. Using a handmade bail, I attach the pendant to a necklace I have designed and created using different chains, glass beads and semi-precious stones to capture the colors, mood, and attitude of the original artwork. The end result is a traveling art gallery composed of one’s favorite pieces.
