Driftwood Club Crafts From Pacific Treasures
Two women and friends gathered driftwood from Matagorda to Port Arthur along Trinity Bay turning it into finished home decor. They formed an informal Driftwood Club meeting monthly in Mrs. Smith's studio. Each piece undergoes multiple sanding and finishing stages before mounting on bases of wood or mahogany, a playful note arising when a landlord threw out barrels of old sticks. Sue and Mrs. Smith bring seaside spirit from Big Springs and wartime gunnery service to their crafts.
