Join Dave and 11 other local crafters for this always-popular event at the Dominion Hills Area Community House, 6000 Wilson Blvd., in Arlington, VA.

Dave's papercutting, "At the Gallery" (below), will be part of the Guild of American Papercutters' traveling exhibit, "Places in Paper". During the next several months, stop by one of two Arlington, VA, locations to see the work of 34 papercutters from across the United States (and elsewhere):

The exhibit opens on September 9, 2019, at Gallery 3700, 3700 Four Mile Run Dr., and remains there through December 8. A public reception will occur at the Gallery on October 12 from 3PM to 5PM.
"Places in Paper" then moves on to Westover Library, 1644 N. McKinley Rd., and will be there from December 17 through February 18, 2020.

Northern Virginia band Local 12 recently commissioned Dave to do a papercutting of a toddler with an electric guitar for their new CD album, "Baby Steps." For more information on the recently released album and the band, see localtwelve.com.
