Roosters everywhere at The Studio this weekend. Denise taught us to us paper to paint and there were so many amazing Roosters that came out of the session. Just take a look!
If you missed this one Denise will be back on September 11th to do it again…and you will have choices of subjects. WooHoo! Check it out here.

A few weeks ago we experimented with multi-media collage work at The Studio. Boy was it fun. We used burlap panels, paint, Sharpies and beautiful scrapbook papers along with ModPodge to create these simple but lovely animal works of art. The kids did great in their class with these and I enjoyed the ones I did too! Super fun.(We did some cute dogs a few weeks ago with Sophia’s private lesson too and you can see that here.) I see a Paint Party for adults doing something like this coming soon.

There was a super fun class at The Studio yesterday in how to make Sun Catchers from beads led by Sandra Charles, a fantastic fiber artist, good friend and owner of Lackawanna Bed and Breakfast. (Check it out here.)
It is so much fun to see everyone starting with the same materials in front of them and ending with such different results….all so lovely. I know we will all enjoy these lovely beaded sun catchers for years to come. Great work ladies.

The past two days there has been Drawing Camp going on at The Studio. Thanks Chips Lickson for holding classes there. I am sure everyone learned loads of things to practice in coming days to become a better artist. (Many thanks to Ruth Wahl for the photos and for her help with The Studio while I was away.)

Two years ago today, August 1st, we opened The Studio on Main Street in Front Royal. Happy Birthday! I was asked why we celebrate the opening as a birthday instead of anniversary. It is because for many of us The Studio is like a living thing! It’s been a “friend” to many as it has provided a place to gather and learn. And learn we have over the past two years.
We have had classes and workshops featuring painting (of course) and jewelry making, yard totems, wreathes, holiday gifts, tennis shoe painting, kids classes, cupcake and cookie decorating, felting, drawing, crocheting, knitting, quilting, Pet Portraits, coloring, flower arranging, collage, painted trays and buckets, Gelli printing, tee-shirt remakes, team building, trips to museums and so much more!!!
Last year on our “Birthday” we had a wonderful Birthday Party with lots of free projects for everyone to try. (See more here.) And we are planning to do it again. We invite you to help us celebrate on Monday, August 29th from 5-7 pm with another evening of great cake and fun projects for adults and kids. Please mark your calendar now and come celebrate The Studio with us!
We can’t wait to see what happens in our 3rd year!!!! We hope you will be a part of the fun and learning.
