Some photos from our Alcohol Inks on Tile class for adults, March 27. We’re scheduling more sections, please check back. You don’t want to miss this fun art form!

Our monthly women’s creative circle “Time for Me” met Thursday 2/22, 6:30pm. We try a new art form at each session, and February’s was alcohol inks on ceramic tile.  Nice work, everyone!  If you’d like to join the fun, call the Gallery at 724.452.0539.
