Hey fellow painters! I'm so excited that we now have a temporary classroom on the 3rd floor. The official one will open up in October.
Our next class is scheduled for August 24TH and we'll be painting "Mixed-Media America". $30 all supplies included. We'll be scraping, printing,
splashing and gluing. Bring at least one recycled wrapper that reminds you of America. For example, I used a PEZ wrapper. We have 15 spots left.
If you want to reserve a seat, just reply back to this e-mail with the number of seats that you want me to hold. Remember to wear paint-friendly clothes
and bring coolers and food if you want. If you bring two new people to class, then your class is half off. I hope to see you there!
