Sip and Sculpt Social 
​Monday, Oct 14th, 2024
5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Held at the
Lakeshore Women's Club
2352 Lakeshore Blvd. Jacksonville FL 32210

And now for something different,  Due to conflicts with other events we are going to start the 2024/2025 season off with a free event for our members.  If you are a JAG member or affiliated with the Lakeshore Women's Club you are invited to our FREE sip and sculpt event with artist Peggy Harrell Jennings leading this Social event!  We are serving heavy hors d'oeuvres, wine and beer.  Each member can bring one guest.  

We rarely get the time we'd like to socialize so this year we are extending the hours of this event to a 3 hour sit at your table, talk, eat, drink, and create event.   Everyone will have a small polymer clay figure to go home with by the end of the evening and enjoyed the company of fellow art enthusiasts. ​

Please join us for the FIRST meeting of the 2024/2025 Season on the 2nd Monday of Oct to enjoy artistic networking with food, conversation, and wine.  Please Register by Oct 7th, 2024, at 5pm!  We need to make sure we have plenty of art supplies, food, and drink.  You need not be a practicing artist to enjoy this activity.

Peggy Harrell Jennings Bio
​
Peggy Harrell Jennings is a visual artist/writer from Jacksonville, Florida who works primarily in oils and acrylics. She has taught art in Clay and Duval County public and private schools, the Jacksonville Art Museum (now MOCA), MOSH and numerous other venues and exhibited locally with JAG and Orange Park Art Guild. She has been an exhibiting member of Jacksonville Watercolor Society, Jacksonville Weaver’s Guild, Crown Craftsmen and National Art Education Association.
​
Harrell Jennings has been creating art and writing since childhood. She earned degrees in English and minors in Psychology, Philosophy (University of West Georgia) as well as a minor in art from Reinhardt College and completed her degrees in Fine Art and Applied Art at University of Southwestern Louisiana. She continued with post graduate studies in fine art, art history and art education at University of North Florida.

Besides teaching visual art, classical ballet and Language Arts to all grades and ages from pre-k through adults, she has worked in advertising, is a costume, set and prop designer for theater productions and ballets and choreographs for The Jacksonville Concert Ballet Company. She illustrates her published children’s books as well including the latest – Ginny’s Journey – written in rhyming couplets. The book pairs educational information about Jacksonville’s historic districts with humor as a giant guinea pig navigates her way to MOSH, the Cummer Gallery and other well known sites.

Harrell Jennings’ artwork is varied in that there is no specific theme, although birds became an obsession for a while. She is currently exploring visual interpretations of this disturbing time in history with drawings, paintings, collage, and the printed word.
