Sunday Painters
Start - Jan 1st, 2020 , Finish - Dec 8th, 2021
Sunday Painters:
2 to 4 pm on the Second Sunday of the month
February: NO CLASS due to remodeling
March 14th: Abstract Acrylic and Charcoal with Dawn Dreibus
April 11: Using Acrylics like watercolors with Lorelle Bacon
Sunday Painters meets the second Sunday afternoon of each month, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. This is not a "class" per se. It is a free and fun way for folks to try new mediums and subjects.
A3L provides all materials free of charge for your first two sessions. We have a different project and medium that we work on each month. Sunday Painters is always free and always open to the public, but we ask that after your first two sessions you join A3L, and if you can, that you bring your own materials.
We only take 8 people, so call 828-668-1100 sign up early. You must be registered by the Wednesday beforehand.

Join this once a week for 8 weeks workshop and learn surprising things about yourself as well as learning how to release those things that you no longer need that may be holding you back from being the best version of yourself! This type of journaling is surprising and eye opening.... Doing it with a small intimate group, allows us to know that we are not alone in having self-doubt, needing direction in our lives and so much more.
We will use a variety of techniques, so that you can learn which works best for you...
It has been several years since Lorelle has taught this workshop, but she has been having strong promptings for a couple of months, to offer it again because there are many who need the benefits that are gained from taking it.
NOTE:
Students will need to bring a spiral bound drawing pad, an inexpensive small set of pastels, an ink pen and the book "Visual Journaling by Barbara Ganim and Susan Fox". You can get used copies on Amazon for around $10.

$18 materials fee
Includes glass cabachon, assorted wire, copper beads and crystals as needed. Tools and finishing supplies will be furnished to use.
If you have a "favorite" pair of pliers or cutters you like to use, bring them along.
Wire Weaving
In this class we will be using wire to bezel and attach a fused glass cabochon onto a wire frame. We will then learn a variety of wire weaving techniques to embellish and enhance the focal piece. End result will be a wearable piece of Art Jewelry.
This class works best for people who have some experience with wire. Knowledge of wire working tools and wire in general will result in a gentle learning curve. It is a fast- paced class as there is a lot to be accomplished in the allotted time. I will cover some of the basics of applying patina to copper and a variety of ways you can finish your bracelet into a wearable piece of artwork.
Minimum of 3 students, maximum of 6 students for social distancing
*Tables and materials will be arranged for social distancing and masks are required. Bring a bag lunch and drinks if possible.
