Open Paint – Sat Nov 17 2018 – Card Making Pendant Making Facebook

If you’re interested in painting, drawing, and illustrating, we have the perfect Saturday lined up! It’ll be a great time with laughter, conversation, creativity, and the space to stretch out! It’s an open paint! All are welcome, including the public, family, and friends! It’s free!

If the weather is nice out, visitors can also embark on an Uxbridge sketch walk. We have the maps all ready.

Cardmaking / Pendant Making Hands-On Workshop 10am-noon
In addition to the open paint, we will be doing a hands-on workshop from 10am to noon on making cards from your 4×6 artwork. This workshop will demonstrate a variety of ways of taking your 4×6 artwork – either an original or a print – and then turning that into a greeting card. If you want to make your own cards out of your own 4×6 artwork, which you would bring with you, there would be a charge for the supplies, based on the actual cost of the items. It ranges from 30 cents to $1 per card.

Here’s some of the supplies we’ll have on hand:
