"Working from a live model, Maria will create a relief portrait in clay," officials said.  "Watching an artist work from beginning to end is always fun and informative and questions are encouraged. Everyone is welcome."

Light refreshments will be available.  The event is open to the public free of charge and will be held at Townsend Atelier The Arts Building, 301 East 11th St. in Chattanooga.
