David Hamby, of Lawrence, was recently selected as one of eight featured artisans to share his pen-turning processes with the Smoky Hill River Festival audience in Salina. This is his second year in a row to participate as a demonstrator at the festival.

The Smoky Hill River Festival is June 7-10 in Oakdale Park. It includes a fine arts show and craft market, live music and dance, a race and children’s activities. Admission is $7 in advance or $10 at the gate, with children 11 and younger admitted free. More information is available at http://www.riverfestival.com/2007/.

Hamby’s work is currently shown at Diane’s Artisan Gallery, 801 1/2 Mass.
