Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts

Life’s too short to make boring art, right? We’re always coming up with fun art ideas. Have you tried our alcohol inks on tile? Light your art on fire! Open classes, group classes… even alcohol inks on tile for kids (no fire though). We have ongoing alcohol ink classes, contact us for available dates through our Facebook page or call the gallery, 724.452.0539.

FULL, THANK YOU!

Have you always wanted to try watercolor painting? Beth Slagle of the Cranberry Artists Network is teaching a beginning watercolor class at the Gallery March 14, 21, 28 from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Class details: https://fb.me/e/3vpsSHzWX Note: This is not the painting you will be working on, only an example of Beth’s work. We hope to see you!

Our Women’s Creative Circle met February 15 to learn the basics of watercolor painting from Pittsburgh artist Beth Slagle. Beth will be offering a full-length watercolor basics class three evenings in March. Watch this space for more information!

Our Women’s Creative Circle is back for 2024! February’s group learned basic watercolor painting, taught by Pittsburgh artist Beth Slagle. All women ages 13 and older are welcome to join this monthly class, no artistic talent needed– our teaching artists are experienced and can teach at beginner or advanced levels.

On February 16, our Women’s Creative Circle tried their hands at a mixed media collage using photographs of ancestors and friends. Good work, everyone! Our next WCC meeting is March 16, 6:30pm.

February is the month of love! Learn the techniques, tips and tricks of acrylic paint pouring just in time to make a beautiful painting for Valentine’s Day. You’ve probably seen those cool, swirly and colorful paintings online, and they’re not hard to make. Once you get the techniques down, you won’t want to stop.

Most materials are provided however, I ask that you bring three bottles of liquid acrylic paint (any brand except Apple Barrel) that you like or match your decor. Materials provided include: canvas, pouring medium/Floetrol, serum, gloves, canvas, white and black paint, pouring cups, stirrers, and paper towels. Very messy project so dress accordingly! Please note you will need to let your painting cure at the Gallery at least overnight. You can come back to the Gallery and pick it up during business hours Sunday or make an afternoon-evening appointment during the week.

All experience levels and ages welcome!
