Here’s another opportunity to make your own silk art. Kim Dupree will be guiding you in your own creations.

Nuno Felting is a technique that bonds loose fibre, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The name is derived from the Japanese word “nuno” meaning cloth. Patterns and designs are limited only to your imagination. Learn how to create a unique piece of wear-able art. It is a wet and somewhat messy process, so dress accordingly! The workshop is free however to offset our costs we are asking partipants to purchase the scarves they produce or to donate them to LAC so we can sell them in the gallery. Suggested purchase price is $45 per piece.

This event is ideal for beginners to experienced 12 years old and up. It is a great family activity.

Come to the gallery for examples and for inspiration! These scarves would make excellent Mother’s Day gifts.

Sessions will be held April 28 / 29 from 10 – 4. You can attend either one or both. Bring a lunch.

To register, you can come into the Art Center gallery or simply click here.

It’s  been much too long since our last Paint Party! We finally have one scheduled for Saturday, April 21 at Pele’s. This event’s painting is a simple beach scene that is perfect for you to personalize with your own additions – lounging on the beach, boogie boarding, shark attack – use your imagination! We are limited to 12 seats and need a minimum of 6 to present the event, so come into the Art Center to sign up soon. For more information and to register on line, please go here.

Back by popular demand- skull decorating! Thanks to the talents of local artist Rachel Lauter, we are able to present an activity reminiscent of the artwork often seen at Dia del Muertos. You will get the opportunity to glorify one of the skulls of our plentiful residents, axis deer! We will supply materials such as paint, sequins, and ribbons. You supply the magic! The cost is only $20 for this unique opportunity, skull included. You can also bring your own skull and save 5 bucks. If you intend to bring your own skull, you MUST contact Rachel at least one week before the event so it can get properly prepared. This will take place at our big project table inside the Art Center gallery. There is limited seating so advanced reservations are highly recommended. If you missed out last time, don’t delay. You can drop by the Art Center for inspiration and to sign up. See you there!
