Maple Crest residents caught a glimpse of an artist at work recently during a tour of Gallery 323, an art gallery and shop operated by Gregg Luginbuhl on Main Street, Bluffton.
During the visit, they discovered artistic items - created for the most part by Luginbuhl - from white porcelain clay. Additional pieces, including paintings and jewelry, are for sale by other artists in Bluffton.
Gregg's artistic talent came down through the genes, in a sense, as his father, Darvin Luginbuhl, was a former art professor at Bluffton University.
Hours after receiving her diploma at Bluffton High School with the class of 2014, Sara Chappell-Dick boarded a plane and headed to Guatemala. Since then she has filled her gap year with a number of adventures. She shares highlights from her year with us and gives insights on where she’ll be heading next.
Andy and Elaine Maravola presented a $1,000 check to the Abilities Ball Field at the July 6 Lima Rotary Club meeting.
The Maravolas coordinated the Charity Car Show at Westgate Entertainment Center on June 28 and the donation is a portion of the $6,500 raised for charity by the show. Nearly 400 cars were entered.
"This is helping us reach our goal to make the dream a reality. We appreciate that they have chosen the Abilities Field as one of their charities to receive this donation," said fundraising coordinator Tracie Sanchez.
