SEQUIM — The Olympic Driftwood Sculptors club will celebrate its 10th anniversary during its annual Lavender Festival Art Show.

More than 150 driftwood sculptures by member artists will be showcased and works-in-progress will be demonstrated from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, Saturday and Sunday at the Sequim Middle School cafeteria, 301 W. Hendrickson Road.

Admission is free. Donations will be accepted by this nonprofit organization that offers scholarships to art students.

One-of-a-kind handcrafted driftwood items will be for sale in the driftwood boutique as well as raffle tickets for an original driftwood sculpture.

The Olympic Driftwood Sculptors began in 2008 with 13 members and has grown to a current membership of 90 artists.

The group offers several events annually, including its biggest show in July during the Sequim Lavender Festival.

They also offer classes on the art form, monthly meetings and workshops.
