Utah Guild of Heritage Artists: March Newsletter

Welcome to spring! As I sit here looking out onto my back deck which is laden with 8" of beautiful white fluffy snow. You just have to love Mother Nature. We wait all winter long for snow and now, just as we are itching to get our hands out in the soil to prep our gardens we are finally blessed with the much needed moisture.

Our meeting on Feb. 14th

Presidents Message

Hi all,

I am excited that Shara Reiner will be here March 19-21. If you are interested but have not signed up yet please contact Loretta or me. There are three one day classes. Each day is $50. More participation would be wonderful. I have primed cans for the mixed media class on Thursday. Please note you need to paint the cans in Black Plum. Pictures of the projects are on the blog. Friday is the snowmen and Saturday is the fall tray. You are on your own for those surfaces. The snowmen was on a 14X14 piece. The tray is a 16X8. You are on your own for all but the can for the mixed media class.

Thanks to Hazel for teaching the chinoiserie piece and for generously raffling her piece off.

Congratulations to the winner, Shonnie. Every one's piece looked beautiful.

I hope those that went to Vegas had a great time and came home with all their pieces finished.

Our service project is going to be a yard / bake sale with the proceeds donated to a local charity. More details to follow.

Nola Phillips will be teaching the Rogaland plate in April. We have two of the double bead plates left for sale. Contact Loretta or me if you are interested. I believe the price was $27.

Brenda Stott will be teaching a fun zentangle apron in May. Aprons can be purchased at Hobby Lobby. There is a picture on the blog.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Please bring your projects from Vegas for show and tell.

Thanks,
Betty

Vegas

What happened in Vegas needs to be shared at Guild. For those of you who painted and loved every moment of class time please share with the entire group. We will have a display table during the Shara Reiner seminar and just in case your pieces are not finished to share we will set the table up again during our April meeting.

UGHA had quite a nice representation at the Vegas convention again this year. Many miles were added to our travel passports, many hours of fun with friends, many hours to log in our painting journals.
