Our Women’s Creative Circle is back!

As women, we all seem to make time for everyone else in our lives– but when is OUR time? Time For Me is a way to set aside time for ourselves, to meet new friends and express our inner creativity. At each class, we explore various creative forms, learning a different technique each time then using that technique to express ourselves. You do not have to be artistically gifted to join us.  Yes, YOU can make art. Don’t let that voice in your head (or that art teacher from your school days) tell you any different.

Time for Me meets the third Thursday of the month at 6:30pm. You can attend one class, two classes, or every class if you would like. Each class is $30 and includes all materials needed for the evening. Feel free to bring refreshments.

Women from 13 to 100 welcome!

RSVP required in advance, please.  bottlebrushgallery@yahoo.com

 Intro to Art Journaling

Looking for a fun and easy way to practice your art and learn new techniques?   How about keeping an art journal? 

What is an art journal? It can be what you want it to be. A place to express your feelings, a place to try out new art techniques and media, a way to chronicle what’s happening in these unprecedented times. More art than words, although words are good too!

What’s really cool about this is that you will learn new art-making techniques while creating a book of your work. How to make backgrounds for your page with watercolors and acrylics, collage, and even palette knife painting… all in your own journal.

Art journals provided!  $20 per person, per class. I will bring art materials you can use, if they’re needed. Call the Gallery at 724.452.0539 or email bottlebrushgallery @ yahoo.com to register. Everyone must sign up in advance.

Class size is limited, so don’t delay if you’re interested.
Instructor: MJ McCurdy
$20 per class. Class meets monthly. Art journals and materials provided.
