Woodcarving / Multiple Sessions / Tuesdays / October 2010 through April 2011 / 6:00 to 8:30 pm
DALE TIMMERMAN will be your instructor. This is a class for all levels of skill. Classes will begin on the first Tuesday in October and ends the last Tuesday in April. No pre-registration required. Bring your equipment with you and come enjoy the conversation and talents of our wood carvers’ league. If you are in need of supplies, some may be available for sale or someone will help you find what you need for your particular project. There are as many different kinds of carving going on, as there are personalities. All skill levels are welcome. No charge for your first visit.
“When I teach my carving classes, I tell the students to try to learn one thing each class, either from myself or another student. At the end of the year the student will have learned 26 things or more about carving that they did not know prior to the classes.”....Dale Timmerman
*Fees are $7.00 per night. (plus materials)
We will be scheduling kids weekend workshops soon!
Ink and Watercolor (aka Line and Wash) / 4 Sessions / Thursdays / October 21, 28, November 4, 11, 2010 / 1:00-3:30 pm
LOUISE LUNDIN will instruct students using "Ink and Watercolor" - Fellow painters, get ready to draw and paint with your watercolor brush. A watercolor brush has been called "the expressive companion of the painter's heart." It is pliant and flexible, and enables us to paint strokes that have personality (unlike a ball-point or fixed nib pen). Demonstrations will emphasize how to create sparkling works of art using ink and free color washes, or ink plus color with dry brush. Painters, you may paint the daily demo or work from your own photos. Brush work: another sweet addition to your creative repertoire. At the end of each lesson, students will have a completed work to sign, take home, and frame. All levels welcome.
