About this Event

Ever wonder what that creature is slithering in your yard? Here is your chance to learn! Ray Palmer will be offering an informational session for adults at The Mill District General Store and Local Art Gallery on Sunday, April 19 from 1-2pm. Ray's passion for snakes has inspired some of their currently exhibited beaded jewelry designs.

Enjoy a slideshow exploring snakes lives, how to recognize different species, and tips on what to do when you meet one in the wild. Then, meet Naga, Ray's very friendly pet corn snake. If you are interested, you may even get the chance to touch Naga!

Free FUN! Donations to artist accepted. Ages 16+

Ray Palmer Artist Bio:


I started making jewelry work when I was 15 years old. After taking a break in college, I picked it back up and have been joyfully creating beaded jewelry ever since while also raising 4 children. My hope is that the people who choose to wear my jewelry will feel a little bit of the joy I experience when creating each piece.
Recently, I decided to work in my passion for animals into the beaded designs, and have started creating bracelets and necklaces with natural patterns from wildlife, primarily snakes. One of my dreams is to open my own wildlife rehabilitation center. Your purchase will help to make this dream a reality.
