Clay Creations at my house Tuesday, 2:15 - 3:15 ($15)

Arts Fest at LaEncantada

I would like to invite you to come se my art display at La Encantada. The Greater Oro Valley Arts Council is hosting an art festival October 18 and 19 from 10am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday. I will be joining other artist as we display our work around the shopping center. I would be so delighted to see you there!

Clay, Glorious Clay!

When I was young, a lady from Germany taught me how to make things with polymer clay, which at that time she ordered from Germany. I'll never forget that experience. I spent countless delightful hours creating anything and everything I could think of. I never could have guessed that I would have this opportunity to pass on that joy! With holiday decorations and gifts to make, this is the opportune time to immerse your children in beauty and creativity. Students will be given tools and techniques as well as help with the creative process. After that, the students are free to create. It's great for students who are tired of listening to the teacher and ready to spend time creating in peace.

Changes!

OK. At this point Monday at 11:00 is now Classical Drawing. I've had a request to change the class on Thursday at 11:00 to Illustration. If I have anyone else who wants to take illustration at that time, then I'll go with that. Anyone want a class on Friday afternoon? Let me know.

New Classes

The fall schedule is finally up. It is listed to your left. Classes meet once a week. I'm very happy about the art program in place. There are now classes to fit every level and style of learner. Please call me any time if you have questions. I'm really excited about the clay and painting classes. You can come whenever you want as long as you let me know two days in advance. I will cap the classes, so I may have to tell you I'm full for a certain day. I'm hoping to have a list of themes for these classes up soon. These classes are mostly for fun and for a chance to work with the medium.

Fall

Yikes! It's already time to start planning for fall! I need you input about where and when you would like classes. I would LOVE it if every family had a class schedule that could perfectly meet their needs. Up until now I've been offering classes with fun projects that build skill, understanding, creativity and use of technique. These classes include a lot of scaffolding and are GREAT for ages 6 and up. This fall I will be offering systematic, classical drawing and painting courses as well and the fun classes you are used to.

Painting Classes and Preschool Classes!

I'm finally able to offer painting classes and preschool classes on Wednesday mornings at Grace Community Covenant Church (On the west side of LaCholla between Overton and Lambert). Kids love having the chance to paint! High quality materials and real canvases make students feel like professional artists. The preschool classes are full of imagination and delight as the students learn important basics for art as well as success in kindergarten. Come check out a single class, or sign up for the whole month of July.
