Submitted / The Herald John Perdue works in paper mache where he most often creates busts. He has some paper mache creations using the bas’ relief technique on flat surface.

A little more than two years ago Perdue wandered into Don Sawyer’s studio on Company Street in Wetumpka. A little of Sawyer’s persuasion soon got Perdue back to creating and a friendship was soon created.
