My classes for September and October

Greetings everyone! Well the day dawned beautiful and sunny here on the coast today. Unfortunately the area has become foggy and gray this afternoon. I always think of this misty gray weather as hibernating weather. And that's exactly what I did. I stayed in this afternoon and hibernated with my Art. I also thought while I was near the computer that I would give you my teaching schedule for the next two months. Ready? here we go!

Andrews Studio-Princeton by the Sea Class: Shrink Art #3-Fossils Description: Have you ever dreamed of being an anthropologist and making the spectacular fossil find of the century? Then this class is for you! With shrink plastic just a little special coloring and the right stamps you can make your own fossils.

Saturday September 18th Where: Art max in Seaside Class: Bottled Spirits Description: On a foggy day I was walking along the beach on one of my morning rambles. As usual I was beach combing for shells that I had picked up a hundred times before and didn’t need. But this time instead of a shell I found something else. As I drew closer I could see it was a bottle half buried in the sand. I dug it out. It was crusted with barnacles, small shells and ringed with rusted metal. As I turned it around I noticed a clear area where I could peer through the hazy glass. But wait something looked back at me! What will your spirit be? Will it be a fairy of dreams offering you 3 wishes? Or will it be an imp of mischief?
