Toluca Lake Art Festival Nov 2-3rd

Hope you all had a fun weekend. Always great getting dressed up for Halloween into my Fav Character that unfortunately I can't be in real life as everyone would ask me what I want to be when I grow up!!! Still fascinates me how many people ask me what I do besides my art:( if I was a cop nurse, teacher, dancer would I get asked the same question? makes me wonder.....this weekend I will be in Burbank and am super stoked and looking forward to a great show out there!

Lido Village Artisan Market

Akoko, is a local artist who engraves on glass by hand, using a dentist drill. Think of the drill as her brush and the glass as the canvas. This is very different to the traditional method of 'etching' using chemicals, or sandblasting, which most people are familiar with.
As it is all by hand and no two pieces are exactly the same. Akoko offers hand engraved glassware including architectural windows, shower doors, entryways, pantry doors, signs and architectural installations....
Akoko does customized work as well, including Inscriptions for weddings, awards, anniversaries, celebrations and events.
She is a Certified Craft member with the Guild of Glass engravers UK. We welcome this unique and very talented artist to the next Lido Village Artisan Market this Sunday, October 6th from 9am - 2pm.
