Rachel’s Whimsical Art Newsletter
January 2017
 
Greetings! The beginning of the New Year, has been a productive one for many of us over the last couple of weeks. While I’ve been on a short break from teaching after school kid’s art, it is still full of planning and prepping for the upcoming winter art classes that begin on the 25th of January. I’ve got some exciting projects for the kids 3/D Art Sculpture classes and Art I classes at local elementary schools with BAAY EduArts.

This coming Saturday, I will be teaching a fantastic Cave Painting art workshop at MoNA (Museum of Northwest Art), in La Conner, WA from 11:00am – 1:00pm, and at 2:00pm – 4:00pm, for only $5 per family. All ages are welcome, and all supplies are provided. You can find out more on their website: http://www.monamuseum.org/

Mixed-Media Meets Steampunk: Pace Atelier Studio, (Bldg #2, 3815 Bakerview Spur, Bellingham, WA 98226), this March 10th & 17th , 6:30pm – 9:30pm , for adults. Take a blank canvas and transform it into a creative work of Steampunk altered art! In this workshop, you'll create a mixed-media 12”x16” painting while utilizing a variety of techniques such as collage, antiquing, blackened canvas, and the use of found objects on canvas. Your finished painting will reflect an eclectic Steampunk style and you'll leave with a treasure trove of skills to use on your next project. Prerequisite: basic art skills; experience in painting is not required. Adult artists ages 18+ are welcome to join.

How? All supplies are provided, for only $70, you can make your very own Mixed-Media Meets Steampunk painting in this 2-day workshop.
