July Featured Artist: Betsy Roberts

Featured this month at Arcata Artisans, Betsy Roberts has created a series of “Peace Lanterns” reminiscent of lanterns floated at Hiroshima every August 6 to commemorate the atom bomb deaths there and at Nagasaki.

Using a variety of materials, such as glass, mica, and siliconized fabric, these portable lamps are elegant, some even dressed up with pearls or garnets. 

Joy Dellas, also featured in July at Arcata Artisans has collaborated with Betsy to create a lamp they call “Three Dog Light.
