Jo Fry to Speak at the 2024 SBSGOAF
SBSGOAF is delighted to announce Jo Fry, artist, writer and sea glass historian who will be speaking both days at this year’s festival. The title of her lecture is The Colorful World of Sea Glass.
“I am an avid beachcomber and history geek from Half Moon Bay, CA who incorporates my beach finds into her art and jewelry. I research, write, and speak about what I find, as I love to discover and share the history behind these lost treasures. The sea has rekindled my creative spark; I like to think of myself as an artist whose inspiration is the waste of the past.” - Jo
