Imagine the surprise and delight your loved one will feel when they open their holiday gift and see that it's something they like or need, which has been decorated and turned into a WORK OF ART--by you-!  First we will meet at the Grand Antique Mall in Elizabeth, IL to search out our object ($20. spending limit. Some free objects will be available too, donated by the Galena Center for the Arts). Your object could be a metal water bottle, a felt top hat, a plain set of PVC pipe flutes, or a resin sculpted lion (see photos). A glass dish or bottle, a wood recipe box, an old frame would work. At our next session you will bring in your paints, old jewelry, coins, feathers, fabrics, buttons, beads, colored papers, anything you can glue down etc. (some paints, brushes, glue and silver metal leaf will be provided by the teacher). Unleash your FUN CREATIVE SPIRIT-!
