Hi all,

I hope everyone is well. I'm happy we are getting snow in the mountains, less happy about having to clear it but if it means no drought, I'll do it.

Please join us on ZOOM this Saturday.  If you are not painting the piece being taught, stay as long as you wish. Work on an UFO. It would be great to see more of you. 

This Saturday, February 20 Kristen will be teaching a stroke work piece. Meeting at 9 am or when we can get everything working correctly. Class immediately following the meeting. If you wish to get some of the basing in there is a photo below.

Date to be determined- Due to the state of emergency the governor has issued, Kristen's class will be delayed until our February meeting. Kristen is teaching the beautiful plate.  $10 for the pattern. You are on your own for the surface. Kristen painted it on a cool plate from Turn of the Century, RNSP-16. Very cool plate but $36. Design without rim is 12-13 inches.

Happy Fall!

Hello ladies!

I want to thank Glenna for all the work she did to make it possible to do our first Zoom meeting and class last month!

I want to thank Gail Jensen for being willing to be the first teacher to give it a try. Thanks to those who painted along. I think it went well and we will continue this way for at least the next couple of months.

Next up is Kay Salisbury teaching the fun mad scientist Frog. This class will be on October 17th.  Meeting at 9 am. We will start painting immediately following. There is one surface left. Contact Pat McKean if you are interested.

November 21 - Kristen Birkeland - Lovely rosemaling plate - $10 for pattern; on your own for wood.  She painted it on a 16" plate (RNSP-16 from Turn of the Century). Very cool plate.  If you don't add the border a 12 - 13" plate will work without changing the size of the pattern. 

I hope you are all doing well! Hope to see you all on ZOOM on Oct 17th.

Take care!

Hi all,

I'm sad to announce we will be canceling the Opening Social. We want everyone to remain healthy.  I miss seeing everyone but want to be sure we can see you in the future.  I hope everyone is well.

Our September meeting will be a Zoom meeting. Normal date and time, September 19 at 9 am.  For those that want a test run we will have a quick Zoom test the night before at 6:30.  The class will be pre-recorded and the link will be on the Blog and probably e-mailed. Zoom is a free app. If you Google ZOOM the option will come up to download and it will walk you through loading it.  

Pat McKean will have wood and patterns for September and October.  Please coordinate with her for payment and pick up of the surface(s). We will try to make it as contact free as possible.  FYI - There are no electronic payment options at this time. 

If you are missing classes, many teachers are offering free classes or inexpensive classes.
