20170928_215350Last night at The Studio we learned how to make No-Sew Baskets.  These are fun and easy and the process can be used to make baskets or bowls but also can be used to make hot pads, placemats and even rugs.  Great work.  Three of our students actually completed their bowl while several others are finishing up at home.  We made them promise to send a photo of the completed work.

Finger Painting Koi

Last night in our Adult Art Class we all decided to give Finger Painting a try.  What fun it turned out to be….and messy! Everyone was game to paint fast and loose.  And boy did they turn out great.  We painted a little Koi pond with Lily Pads.  Sometimes it’s fun to do something a little different.  Great work everyone!  If you want to get creative come join us for art class on Wednesdays at 10:30 or 5:30 or Thursdays at 2 pm.  See more info here.

Really Large Landscapes

Large LandscapesWe painted really large canvases at The Studio yesterday.  We’d had a request to do a landscape in a large format after we did the large abstracts.  So this is the one we did.  It’s a view of the mountain looking south from Belle Grove.  What a great job everyone did on it.  I think they would all agree that painting large is FUN!
