Now open, Tehachapi's only full-service jewelry store

The Tehachapi Arts center is excited to announce the opening of Alari Design Jewelry Studio, the only full-service jewelry store in town. No more driving to Bakersfield or Lancaster to get that ring resized, repair that setting or change your watch battery. Michael Alari will design and manufacture your very own, one-of-a-kind, custom piece of jewelry. Why pay mall prices when you can pay Tehachapi prices?

March artist of the month: Chainsaw Coop

As you can imagine from his name he is a chainsaw sculptor. Cooper Davidson is a local artist known not only for his yard art but smaller pieces suitable for desktop display.

Aside from his sculptures he produces signs and furniture. He's only here for a limited time. So come in soon to see his rustic creations.

You can reach Coop at (661) 622-9090.

A reminder, all our classes have fees and some fill up quickly. It doesn't hurt to sign up early.

We're just beginning, there's more to come as new venders and teachers join the center.

The Tehachapi Arts Center is a cooperative continuing the heritage of Mel White's Treasure Trove, providing a venue for local artisans to gather, learn, teach and, of course, display and sell their art. We are located at 116 E. Tehachapi Blvd. (across the street from the water tower). Open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone (661) 822-6794.
