This photo is of the main classroom.  There is also
an overflow classroom, a store and a sink room.

Regular classes are as follows:

Monday evenings - Open class from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Class fee is $16 and includes paints used in class.  Painters work on their individual projects with my guidance and assistance.

Wednesday mornings - Open class from 9 a.m to noon.  Class fee is $16 and includes paints used in class.  Occasionaly we choose a project to paint together, such as this tall snowman - what a hoot - a fun paint and an easy Christmas project.  The cost of the wood is $21.95 and we completed all the painting including crackling in one class.

Thursday morning open class, 9 a.m. to noon. Class fee is $16 and paints used in class are included.  Painters work on their own projects and we often pick a project to work on together.

PROJECT CLASSES in the spring will include

We will be working on the background Friday night using Liquin so the surface will be almost dry on Sunday when we will paint the pumpkin and leaves.  Class fee is $60 and will include an 8x10 masonite panel. This is an insert so panels can be changed out or turned around as you choose. I don’t have the cost of the frame as yet but should have it before the class. This could also be done larger or on a canvas.

New Wood
Now that I have a local wood cutter the sky is the limit.  I am able to get laser cut ornaments as well as stools, benches, mail boxes, chairs, keepsake boxes - anything I want for a class is available to us.

 Baltic birch panel with a scroll”frame or“overlay - my favorite new surface, this is a 1/8^th”scroll that frames the painting. It comes in square, rectangular and oval and various sizes and is perfect for many designs with the cost being a fraction of actual framing.

Jamie Mills Price - Seasons in Time Arch Frame and Panels these are fabulous. The cost is $29.95 and it comes with a base with two slots in it, two background inserts (paint on both sides), four arches and four scroll cut vines and everything can be stored all on the base with the appropriate season in the front. I’m so happy I’ve found them in Canada and can order more if needed.
