Art ActivityWe can start out the new year with an art activity. Since the huge interest in the works of Narcissus Quagliata, and his protege, Tim Carey, I thought it would be a good kick off starter to channel their work and techniques. I have taken a couple of classes from Narcissus and will be showing you some proven exercises to do for those classes. I will be bringing some inks and watercolors and some white, slick paper. If any of you have any materials you would like to play with, feel free to bring them. Wear casual clothing or an apron as the inks and watercolors will be sliding around a bit. Then I would like you to take your renderings home and try to reproduce them in glass. Let’s play, have fun, experiment and learn a little more about ourselves.
Lakewood Art CenterThe Lakewood Art Center show for August is being headed by Lois Rentz. Thank you, Lois, for stepping up.
Please contact Lois for more information or to volunteer to help. And I hope a lot of you entered the Wyoming Botanic Gardens Glass Show. Can’t wait to see photos of the event.
Website/Newsletter
Happy and sad news is that Linda Handman, our website innovator extraordinaire, is retiring from her workplace and plans on traveling a lot. And we thank her deeply for her 10+ years of being our web master. However. this will leave her no time to take care of our website or newsletter. Linda has recently secured our website with a server and secured our domain name.
She has also spent a very long time totally redoing the website. It is up and running if anyone is missing going on the website. However, we do need a replacement for Linda.
So, if you would like to be on the board and receive all the benefits of a board member, and know something about computers and websites and sending out the newsletter, then please speak up. You are welcome to give it a try for awhile and see if it is a good fit for you. We need someone to take over by the first of March. Contact me, Deborah Carlson, at dc@deborahcarlson.com to apply.
Linda will train you and give you all the passwords and information you need to make this a seamless transition.
