BUILD A FUNKY BOWL!WITH JUDY GILMER
Mon Nov 17th - 10:00 - 3:30 - $65.00
THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!
- Using 1 or 2 glass bowls that you select, we will make a plaster-fiber cast of your piece and then paint it!
- Any shape with an opening wider than the base will work (see image).
- Your bowl will be finished off with paint, or you can collage it and add some tissue paper, thread, leaves etc to the casting before it hardens.
- The casting of the bowls will be done outside as it is a bit of a messy process. Wear your comfy crafting or work clothes so you are ok with getting a bit "plastered" :0)
- If you want to use a large bowl just bring the one - or you can bring two or 3 smaller ones. Hit the thrift stores for uniquely shaped vessels.
- You will need a bucket for water, scissors, suggest rubber gloves and an apron.
- The process will not harm glass, so if you have a favorite piece from home, go ahead and bring that.
- This project is a lot of fun and your creation makes a nice gift for the holidays or as a centerpiece in your own home.
This is a bit of a long day so bring a light lunch and I will provide the coffee, carbs and water.

FROG
Sund and Mond Nov 23rd and 24th - $110
TWO DAY CHARACTER WORKSHOP
I don't know why I love drawing frogs.. but they just sort of "hop" into my mind and want to be seen. SO...
- I will show you how to build a frog bloke or blokette from basic shapes.
- We will practice first on sketch paper and then go live on the good stuff.
- The image pictured is an example only and I will have other samples of different frog characters I have done to help you stimulate your creative juices.
- This class is also excellent for improving your painting skills using washes and shading.
***If you have a Rapidograph pen - please make sure it is in working order and bring it.
If not, or you don't know what that is - no worries as I have plenty of pens.***
Please bring a light lunch or snack as this is a long day.
I will provide the carbs and coffee and water.

BASIC WATERCOLOR FOR BEGINNERS
December 1st - 10:00 - 12:30 - $45.00
I've had lots of requests for another basic class so here we go!
- If you have never painted with watercolor before, or have, but it turned into a nightmare - come and give it a go with me!
- Whether you feel you have zero talent or no drawing skills, this class will show you quite differently.
- I will take you step by step through the process of creating a lovely, bright impressionistic floral which we will slip under a mat when done. All You will need to get is a frame to hang your first masterpiece!
- We will spend about 10 minutes going over a few basics so you are in the drivers seat with the paint. Just a few simple techniques to help get you started.
- Then you get to create your own version of the piece I am demonstrating - choose your own colors, create your own composition.
Seats available - 7 - 3 spots left
All materials are provided, so just bring yourself for a fun couple of hours spent with great classmates..
