August Designer Showcase: Odd Mod Studio
Stop in on Saturday, August 9th between 10am and 6pm and meet Doug Withers, of Odd Mod Studio, an artist and designer working in leather, metal, wood, and plastics. His line of leather bracelets and cuffs are original designs, hand tooled, sculptural works of art for the wrist. Elegant, funky, quirky designs combine modernistic and abstract patterns and shapes in bold and vibrant color palettes. Wear them with jeans or for a night out, a single cuff or stacked bracelets, they add a pop of color and get attention. These finely crafted cuffs for men and women have been featured in the Memorial Art Gallery Store, Second Storie, Art in June, and First Fridays at Odd Mod Studio, in Anderson Alley.
