What a great May meeting! Our demo by LaTonia Barto on "How to Photograph Your Art Work" was a total success. We had so many questions and she was very patient with us. The ATC exchange was fun as usual and hopefully will continue to be a part of our meetings. Don't forget your summer assignments: 
  • design your own name tag 
  • get your creative juices flowing for our Fall Show - more details on that as they become available
  • new logo design by current members - prospectus available soon
If you need any additional information on any of these, leave a comment with your request.

AND MOST IMPORTANT!!! Don't forget about our three one-day workshops during the summer:

  • June 19th - Colored Pencil
  • July  31st - Fiber Art
  • August 21st - Pastels
Let's all have an ARTfilled summer!
