Tuesday Nights Artists Group
Tuesdays, Feb 25, March 24, April 28, May 26 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. Exhibition on June 5
Creative energy works best through action and immersion. In art, there are times of rest and contemplation, and times of art making. Come pull from the mental and make physical.
Create a reality; a piece of art. Tuesday Nights is a series of art sessions for creative types. Each series is built around one project idea that ends in an exhibition. This is a way to advance your creative skills while socializing with others of your artistic ilk. We don't care how long you have been at it. Some of us have been plowing the creative fields for a while others are just starting, all that matters is your willingness to jump in and take chances. After all, it's only art.

Wild Wire to Wearable Fused Glass
2nd Monday of each month from 1:30-4:30 p.m.
Mar. 9, Apr. 13 or May 11
This is a fun class that starts with a bit of metal forming used between layers of fused glass. We then design and create pendants or earrings. If you choose to work with wire only, that option is fine.
The options of jewelry making with glass and wire are vast. Over 13 years of experimentation I've found some things that work well,and I'd like to share with people interested in glass and jewelry. In this workshop we get right to work forming silver to embed between layers of glass that will be fused in a kiln. Students will have unique handmade glass pendants after firing or forged wire work to take home the day of the workshop,if their interest is working with wire. Small wire sculpture is an option to work on as well.
All materials provided: Fusible glass, silver, copper, brass, gold wire and ear wires. Glass paints and enamels. Murine, crystals, seaweed metal cutouts and more!
