Artisans United Craft Gallery hosts an auction

The Craft Gallery of Artisans United in Annandale is auctioning off weavings and drawings by Sharon Safran. The proceeds will support the gallery’s classes and outreach efforts.

Safran, a longtime member of Artisans United, died in October 2023. Her husband, David Hirsch, donated some of her work to the Craft Gallery.

The silent auction will be open until 4 p.m. on Dec. 1.

To submit a bid, visit the Craft Gallery of Artisans United at 4022 Hummer Road, call the gallery at 703-941-0202, or send a message via the contact page.

Starting bids are $25 for weavings and $20 for framed art.

Safran started out as a painter. After studying textiles at the Rhode Island School of Design, she branched out to weaving on a loom and silk painting.

Some of her creations, including painted silk blouses and scarves, are available for purchase at the Craft Gallery.
