The Corner Studio is working in partnership with Southern Maryland Carousel Group, a non-profit organization designed to rebuild a carousel in Southern Maryland. Local woodcarvers and painters, volunteer their time and skills to create each animal for the carousel. Many of the animals have been painted at The Corner Studio. For more information about the Southern Maryland Carousel Group visit www.somdcarousel.com.
