ENCINITAS, Calif. – World-class woodworker Sue Spray is
presenting the Luthier’s Co-op First Annual Guitar/Art exhibition
displaying fine handmade guitars and harps and the artwork of local
Americana artist and E St. Café owner, Dominic Alcorn. The
exhibition is designed to showcase both the beauty and sound of the
instruments along with the powerful impact of Dominic’s collection of
work. The public is invited to attend the event, May 1 from 3 p.m. – 7
p.m., at the E St. Café, 128 W. E. St., Encinitas, when the luthiers
and artist will be on hand to describe their work.
“These guitars are built from some of the finest global hardwoods
available, and produce rich tones hard to find in commercially
produced guitars,” said Sue Spray, owner. “Our stringed instruments
represent an art form using time-honored techniques and processes
that are slowly disappearing.”
The free event will provide interested musicians and guitar
aficionados the opportunity to experience the sound of these guitars
and art patrons will enjoy Dominic’s artwork including his works
featured at Seaworld and in the “Save the Turtles” campaign in Cabo
San Lucas. An afternoon of acoustic guitar music will be provided by
the very talented local musician Peter Pupping and others as they
demonstrate the warm, incredible tones and sounds of these
handcrafted guitars. The guitars and artwork are available for
collectors wishing to add to their collections. Proceeds from the
guitar sales will support the Helen Woodward Animal Center. For
more information, call (760) 599-WOOD or visit www.suespray.com.

what we do and it shows.” Visit www.suespray.com for more
