Freehold Art Society Meeting and Demonstration

  The Freehold Art Society will hold a meeting and demonstration at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters, 125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan.  Pt. Pleasant artist, Geraldine (Gerrie) Vergona, will demonstrate her newest venture, sugar sculpting. Using gum paste, a malleable mix of sugar and various gums, Gerrie creates beautiful and life-like decorative flowers and other objects that can be used to decorate cakes or stand-alone art projects. She is the president of the Ocean County Camera Club, and is active in the Belmar Arts Council. She has received numerous awards and honors for her paintings and photographs.

  The meeting is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Park in the Alexandria Drive lot in the back of the library. Check at the desk for the room assignment.
