Exciting news for One Grumpy Sailor! On October 18, 2023, Lakeshore PBS’s “Eye on the Arts” will be hosting an interview that promises a deep dive into the world of woodworking, service, and artistic imagination.

The episode will spotlight a multifaceted artist known for their stunning shadowboxes and patriotic flag holders. But what truly sets this feature apart is the seamless blend of woodworking and steampunk-inspired lamps.
