Donna Richards will be teaching our cute and fun summer flowers project. The piece is 9 x 12", but the pattern can be any size.  Those painting the design need to bring their own surface.  Prep the surface with white gesso and then apply a coat of Titanium white.  The pattern includes instructions for drawing a very light line around where the patter will fit into a 6 1/2 inch x 9 inch area.  Place pattern on.  Basing and finishing will be done in class.   Paints will be supplied.

   

May 18, 2019 Class - 9:00 am

Our May project is this wonderful box that holds cell phones so that you can charge 
them.  Jan Pecharich will be teaching this project.Everyone should have their wood already and patterns can be picked up at the April meeting.

Painting Retreat will be held June 20-22

The theme this year is "Take a Hike."  This will be a super fun get-away to paint in the mountains.  We will be going to Jolynne's cabin.  Projects or photos of projects and sign-up sheets will be at the April meeting.  A volunteer is needed for taking charge of 
Friday lunch.  Registration will be $75.00.  

August is Opening Social

Date and time to be announced.  Tirzah will be teaching a Heidi England owl pattern.  We will also be working on a service project.  We will be donating to the Assistance League.  This is a volunteer organization that helps anyone from babies to the elderly.  We will be making hygiene kits to donate to needy individuals.  Bring items to put in the kits.  

September

This will be the Kristen Birkeland seminar.  More details to follow.

March 2019 Newsletter

Hello Painting Friends,

It is hard to believe it's March already, however the weather should be clue enough--snow and rain in the same day!!! Hopefully March will go out like a lamb, since it came in like a lion.  

February's meeting was fun, and I've seen a few finished plates that are really cute, and just in time for St. Patrick's day.  

I hope everyone is looking forward to our painting time with Kay--she designed the table we are painting on March 16, 2019, and I think they will  look great on our summer patio with a nice colorful glass of lemonade.  I hope everyone will come and paint together.  If you aren't painting the project, bring a UFO to finish, and enjoy chatting and lunch with us.   

Our April project will be a great addition to the spring theme, designed and taught by Donna Richards.  The design can be painted on just about any surface, so we can all decrease our wood stashes by one. 

 Jan has already made the boxes for May, can't wait to paint mine.  

Retreat theme "take a hike" will be so fun, and Lisa is working hard to round up the projects.   Take care and see you all March 16, 2019.

February 2019 Newsletter

Hello fellow painters,

We have some really fun projects coming up.    I hope you all will take on the challenge of each project, especially if it's a new way to paint.  

I would like to thank Judy for teaching in January.  All the people who painted did a beautiful job and their "Lady on the Box (Palek design)" turned out so nice. 

I hope everyone is excited about the February project I am teaching.  Please have the background on and the frog pattern on.  I will have cloverleafs there to do the reverse stencil at the very beginning of class.

Our seminar this year will be with Kristen Birklund in September.  We have included information in this newsletter about the seminars the Heart of Utah and the Golden Spike Decorative Painters have organized.  Please support our neighboring chapters.  

Take care, and see you all at the chapter meeting in February.

January 2019 Newsletter

Hello fellow painters,

I hope everyone had a memorable holiday time, and that this new year will bring joy to everyone.  I am really excited about the projects that have been scheduled for the year, and I hope you all will take on the challenge of each project, especially if its a new way to paint.  

The Christmas party was wonderfully hosted by Lisa at her home, and the food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious.  I speak for us all in a great big Thank You to Lisa Peck for her year as a great chapter president.  I would also like to thank everyone for their support of the chapter...that's what makes it a success for us all.  I would especially like to thank my new board members for there willingness to volunteer to serve for another year.   

I hope everyone is excited about the January project--and thankfully the Palek design Judy is teaching is large enough to see without a microscope!  

I am excited about the seminar we will have with Kristen Birklund,  which we have successfully changed to September so we are all able to support our neighboring chapters in their April seminars.  

Take Care, and see you all at the chapter meeting in January.

                                                                  Glenna Nielsen, Chapter President

In Memory

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of one of the Utah Guild of Heritage Artists Lifetime members, Carol Shipley on December 28, 2018.  

Carol held the office of Treasurer for the Guild and served in many capacities. She was willing to help where she was needed.  

She co-owned the Cabin, which was a Decorative Painting store and she taught many classes there. 

Carol was also an avid collector.  She obtained several decorative pieces that were painted by the famous Decorative Painter, Peter Ompir. I remember that she once gave a talk about how to start a collection at Guild and gave us each a hairnet.  She loved to go antiquing, to the D.I. and other thrift stores to add to her many collections.  
We were so lucky that she opened her home to us so that we could view her large Santa Collection. 

She was very musically talented.  She would often provide the entertainment for our Christmas Parties along with her sister, Patty and Patty’s husband.  Carol would always write darling skits to announce the new board or an upcoming meeting.  

Carol had a wonderful smile or a good word for you.  If you ever needed something, she usually had it in her large purse. She will be missed by her many painting friends!

Judy Graham will be teaching a Palekh design on a small box.  The box will be made by Jan Pecharich.  Judy says she used tiny liners.  When she took the class they used Raphael number 8829 in a 2 and 0.  Josonja has a new brush out number 4015 in a 10/0 that is really great.  One of the best things is to bring magnifying glasses so you can see well.

Hello all you painting ladies,

Some of you have probably already heard about Lisa's health struggle these past few weeks.  I saw Lisa at the doctor's office on November 13th and she said she was really sick.  Then I heard she was in the Lone Peak hospital with Influenza and Pneumonia.  She spent many days in the ICU on a respirator, and slept for a long time.  She is now in a rehab facility and is hoping to come home this weekend.  We wish her the best and a speedy recovery.  Loves and hugs from all of us!

The Christmas party is coming up on Decmeber 15th.  See the information below.  

Glenna Nielsen, our Chapter President for next year, has put together all the projects for the whole year and she has scheduled Kirsten Birkeland to teach at the seminar in April.    (See below for more information). 

Wishing you all a calm, happy, family-friendly holiday!  Keep warm, smile a lot, and buy yourself a little something special!  :)
