Summer Art Workshops 2008
ALIA is hosting 3 Art Workshops this summer starting with an Art Demo Night on Monday Night June 16th at 6:30 PM. We will be featuring 3 local artists, showing and talking about the workshops they will be providing this summer. Pottery, Watercolor Painting and Drawing Workshops will be offered. All workshops are offered for students age 13 to adult. On Art Demo Night, a $5.00 donation per family would be appreciated for the Artists' Time.
The Pottery Workshop with Michele Sinkez will be held on Wednesday Nights starting July 9th from 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM and will continue for 8 weeks - all Wednesday Nights except Aug 6th when it will be held on Monday Aug. 4th because of a prior booking of the club house that Wednesday. The fee for the Pottery Workshops will be $80.00 for ALIA members and $100.00 for non-members. $10.00 a night for members is a great deal. Materials will be offered by the instructor for $15.00, and you will need to supply your own pottery tool kit that can be bought at the Thatcher’s Alcove in Marlborough .
A special feature of this class will be an outdoor "Pit Fire" firing of all pottery projects made in the seven weeks of workshops; this will be followed by a Pot Luck Dinner on the Main Beach, with more details to follow. Sign up for this quick because there is limited space for this workshop.
Our Watercolor Painting Workshops provided by Mary Horrigan entail 4 weeks of instruction in watercolor painting starting on Thursday Night July 10th from 6:30-8:30 PM. Cost is only $40.00 for ALIA members and 50.00 for non members. Again, it’s a great deal for members $10.00 per night. At the Art Demo Night, Mary will be providing a materials list for interested students. Mary is an excellent local artist and teaches Watercolor at Manchester Community College. This class fills very quickly as well; reserve your spot soon; space is limited for this workshop.
Starting on Thursday Night Aug 7th from 6:30-8:30 for four consecutive Thursday Nights in August, our Drawing Workshop will begin, featuring Katherine Berlin, local artist from Thatcher’s Alcove. Katherine will supply a material listing at our Art Demo Night as well. Katherine’s Drawing Workshop is a great way to get started drawing and to learn some excellent pointers from a very well established local artist. Again, early sign-up is suggested; this workshop is limited and fills fast. This is priced the same as the Watercolor Workshop and is a great value at any level.
Reservations can be made by phone by calling Drew Gibson ALIA Director of Community Relations at 424-6646 and payments will be accepted at the Art Demo Night on June 16th. Or Checks can be mailed to: Drew Gibson, 8 Rondaly Road, Amston Ct 06231, made out to ALIA and please write what workshop you want to attend on the check. We hope this is a start to many more fun workshops to come, we look forward to seeing your interests and would love to hear your feed back on up and coming workshops.
