Cement Owls & Wirework

 

In keeping with Nieu Bethesda’s creative energy, many crafters make a living from their unique crafts.  Cement owls and mermaids ~ inspired by the owl House’s ‘Miss Helen’ are lovingly created in her memory.

You will find artists selling the wares, ranging from cement sculptures to wirework made from recycled items in front of the Owl House.
