Warwick — Lia Sirelson of LS Designs in Warwick will be joining more than 150 artisans from across North America offering their contemporary and traditional crafts for sale at the Westport Craft Show, on May 26 and 27, in Westport, Conn. Sirelson has many new original designs, using carnelian, peridot, pearls, smoky quartz, Peruvian opal, rubies, sapphires, amethyst, turquoise and many other fine stones with imaginative designs in gold and sterling silver. Now in its 41st year, the show is one of the oldest and most respected fine craft juried shows in the northeast, typically attracting more than 3,000 visitors from throughout southern New England and Metro New York City. Traditionally held over the Memorial Day weekend, the Show has become a first-of-the-season holiday destination for families, buyers, and shoppers. Its array of items are well-suited for gift-giving on all the upcoming occasions, like graduation, Father’s Day, weddings, bridal and baby showers. The gems in Sirelson’s designs have been individually selected by her, for their high quality, at the annual international gem show held in Tucson.
