Printmaking with Charlene
Sept. 9, 2023 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
The Art Center - 438 Main St.
Let's make a fun "farmers market basket" artwork with printmaking techniques! Each piece will be unique!
Using a pencil, students will "carve" designs onto a precut piece of Styrofoam. When the Styrofoam is rolled with ink, the design will be printed onto a piece of paper. Then, students can choose from an array of fruits and vegetable to ink and print around their basket image!
Class is free, thanks to a grant from the Ramona Community Foundation. Children must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Space is limited, and registration is required.

Paper Quilling, or paper rolling, filigree, or mosaic, goes back to Renaissance Europe - maybe even back as far as ancient Egypt and to ancient China at the time of the invention of paper. Anyone can do it -- all it takes is paper, glue, and imagination. From the simplest pictures to intricate designs - it's up to you! Join us for a fun morning creating unique and colorful paper quilling creations.

Yarn Painting with Claudia
April 8, 2023
The Art Center - 438 Main St.
Join us with your family to learn the art of yarn painting. Images are created using yarn adhered to a cardboard surface and wound around in every direction outlining snakes, flowers, lizards and other things found in nature The Huichols believed that people are connected to nature and all living things. After drawing some simple shapes on the cardboard, the yarn is applied with glue and then each image comes to life with a dark outline. Then, colorful yarn snaking close to each edge of the outline is applied in rows until the whole area is covered. This fun and easy art project is a great family activity.
Class is free, thanks to a grant from the Ramona Community Foundation. Space is limited, and registration is required. Sign up now!
