Basics of Drawing   Wednesday July 9, 6-9pm

If you have always wanted to learn to draw or your drawing skills are rusty this is a great class to get you warmed up.  During the session you will start with some exercises to open up your mind to drawing concepts, and then we will dive into several skill building exercises. We'll work with Line drawing, Perspective and a bit of shading.  We'll talk about materials along the way.  No need to bring anything, all materials will be provided.

This class is free to Veterns thanks to the Flagstar Foundation. 

To make these sculptural earth friendly plant pots we will learn how to mix cement, peat and vermiculite to create a slurryy. Each person will bring a towel that will be dipped into the solution which creates the sculptural look. Embedded into that each will bring with them a momento, written thoughts or a scrap of clothing from their service as a veteran that will produce the final pot. 

June 19 and 26 at 6 PM

During the second session we will learn how to leach the pots of the lime from the cement and then plant them with herbs that will nourish and add the spice to life!
