CORNUCOPIA STILL LIFE
Step-by-Step, create a painting without using a brush
At this time of the year we like to celebrate “abundance”. On this evening of art we will paint an autumn still life image that reflects this timeless theme. We will paint this image on a canvas board without using a paintbrush! This will be an interesting experience as we explore found objects to replace what a paintbrush might otherwise create.
COST $20 /adult • 7:00 – 9:00 pm • You must be over 21 to attend.

METAL TOOLING
Tooling metal is a very special art form that is easy to do with our hands-on instruction and easy directions. We start you in a step-by-step fashion but then each participant “tools” the image of their choice. You will end the evening having made a tooled art image that conveys the spirit of season. A great “Date Night” event!
