Happy 2nd Birthday to The Studio

August 1, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

 

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.

Hydrangeas

July 31, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

I have worked on several hydrangea paintings this week in preparation for a private Paint Party coming up tomorrow with a good friend and a large group of her friends from Lake Frederick.  I’m looking forward to it.  Part of the fun of hosting Paint Parties is coming up with interesting subject matter that can be simplified so that even people who have never painted before can create a successful painting.  That’s what we are good at doing at The Studio and we love it!  (And please don’t forget to vote for us in the poll.  You can vote each day.  Click here and vote in categories # 3, 29, 49, 97, and 105.  Many thanks!)

Reenactment at Belle Grove

July 24, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

BG1BG2BG3BG4BG5BG6BG7Yesterday I drove over to Belle Grove in Middletown to deliver some art for an upcoming event called “Art in the Barn” that they are having there. I happened upon a reenactment weekend.  It was quite a sight to see….impressive with the huge mansion on one side of the field and a big red barn on the other with tons of tents in between.  You have to wonder is that what it looked like all those years ago?!     Wow!
