Look who’s coming to town
If you plan to attend the KOC convention in August, you can look forward to a signing event like never before, where you’ll have the opportunity to have every artist sign the studio piece available for purchase. It’s a very special studio piece, too, just in time for the club’s 30th anniversary. As one of our premium ornaments, it’s crafted from fine porcelain and features a classic depiction of Santa’s sleigh piled high with gifts, each one designed by a different artist. Only 1,800 will be available this year, one for each registered attendee at the convention. Plus, it won’t be repainted next year, so snag it while you can!
