Helpers Community and The Arc SF, ArtReach Studios, partnered on Crafting Our Community, an event 7/21, hosted by the young professional volunteer group with The Arc SF, Pulse.
It was an evening of education, art, shopping, and enjoyment featuring Helpers Artisan Boutique artists’ gift items,  art, and The Arc SF art from Art Reach Studios.  The event was the first collaborative event between Helpers and The Arc SF, and The Arc SF’s first in person event of the year!

 It was our pleasure to introduce functional ceramic art by Justin S., an artist from One Step Beyond Inc.  Justin’s true love is ceramics.  He has a unique connection with clay that can be seen with every vessel he creates, and loves when people enjoy his art.  Justin is also an accomplished painter.

His ceramic bowl was a raffle prize at the Crafting Our Community event.  Shop for his ceramics  featured at Helpers Artisan Boutique in SF.
