Hi Art League members!
Jill and I have had a busy summer lining up a myriad of exciting workshops to
stretch your minds and get your creative juices flowing. We think that when you
see them lined up for your inspection you'll sign up for a handful....baskets,
jewelry, decoupage, watercolor, photography, woodworking, clay and stone.
You are bound to find at least one in which you astound yourself. Since many
of our artist instructors come long distances, we hope you'll help us find
housing for them while they are here. Hope to see many of you learning and
growing and having a barrel of fun come November.
In high anticipation,
Anne Anderson
Chairman
