Artist Series for Kids & ArtEscape! Weekend

ANO! Kids- Sewing
The winter sewing session of the Artist Series for Kids came to a close last week. Diane led her class of students through a series of sewing techniques. Each student chose and crafted an individual project; everything from making cool hand sewn purses to a funky stitched garment to show off to their friends. Here are a few pictures of the kids hard at work.


ANO! Kids - Painting
The Acrylics Painting spring session for the Artist Series for Kids began on March 10th and will go through April 14th. This 6 week session is great for kids 8-16 and meets every week from 3:30-5pm. What a way to stimulate some creativity and inspire young artist to explore their talents while hanging out with new friends. We are looking forward to showing off their paintings at the end of the session.

ArtEscape! Weekend-
Stained Glass
As we wrapped up our ArtEscape Weekend this afternoon with brunch at the studio, it was no surprise that we would be overwhelmed by the amazing creations coming from our Stained Glass intensive with Gayle. Starting on Friday night from 6-9pm, students are introduced to the techniques of stained glass: design, cutting, grinding and the copper foil method. Saturday was a full studio day from 10-6 where students were able to master their new techniques and challenge their creativity. Sunday wrapped up with a lot of oohing and aahing over each others work. Another successful ArtEscape Event!
