Mondays:
5:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. – Class Fee is $12.00 + materials & tax on
materials. I do prefer that you buy your materials from Raspberry Patch
unless you are working on a chair, table or something that you want to
bring back to life. You can work on any project you wish during class,
but sometimes we will have a group project. A light supper is served at
6:30. If you need to stay beyond 8:30 p. m. to finish a project, there is
a $2.50 per hour fee for each hour you stay late.

Tuesdays:
Back Porch Lunch Classes will begin on July 8, 2008. This class will
begin at 10:00 a. m. and continue to 2:00 p. m. The fee for this class is
$20.00 and one of the highlights is a wonderful lunch served on the Back
Porch (weather permitting). You can work on any project you wish during
class and special projects will be on display to pick from. Lunch is
usually a delicious soup, sandwich or salad with iced tea, lemonade or
coffee. We usually have fruit for dessert with sherbet.

Wednesdays:
Beginning on July 10, 2008 and until Labor Day, I will be having a Punch
Needle class on my Back Porch (weather permitting) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.
m. This is a wonderful needle craft that is done with a punch that looks
like a pen using weaver’s cloth for the backing, floss for the thread, and
looks so beautiful when completed! I carry the needles, needle threaders,
no-slip hoops, Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works Floss and also have pattern
kits available for sale. We can also design our own patterns and you will
learn how to trace your pattern onto the Weaver’s cloth and the punching
techniques. During this class I will be serving a fruit, cracker and
cheese board with a glass of local Finger Lakes Wine or a refreshing glass
of iced tea or lemonade. The fee for attending the two-hour class is
$10.00 each week. You can come as often as you like. Please let me know
if you would like to attend!
|
Please call to register for these classes early so you will be sure to get a
seat. You will meet lots of great people and will get lots of good ideas from
watching what other people are painting at the classes.
