Episode description
The award-winning jewelry and metalwork designer whose work is currently on view at Sullivan Gallery has also exhibited at RHINO Gallery, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. A perennial favorite at the N.O. Jazz Fest Contemporary Craft Village, she has exhibited her work there since the late '80s. Having recently completed a pilgrimage in Spain on the Camino de Santiago, tonight Margo forgoes the solitude for a dive bar dust up with the Troubled Men.
