Art Classes a Big Hit in Poulsbo this Winter


This winter we have had a fantastic response to our art classes & workshops in our Poulsbo store. Ron Stocke was scheduled for a Travel Watercolor Class February 19th which sold out within 4 hours. This was such a great deal too. Our "New Inspiration" Classes are designed to help inspire, giving new direction or a creative boost to artists for a fraction of the cost. You'll see more of these in the future, and they are great events to take advantage of, as they almost always will feature supplies being given to you.

Our next New Inspiration Class will be Crackle Paste Intro with Derek Gundy on Thursday March 17th, 2-4pm. This will feature Golden's Crackle Paste and Ampersand's Claybord Panels. This class is already filling quickly so register today if you are interested. Take an art class on St. Patrick's Day!

Eileen Sorg's Colored Pencil Workshop in late February also is sold out, however if you are interested in taking a class sometime, I would encourage you to give us your email and phone #, just in case there is a cancellation. If Eileen would decide to do another class, this would give us good information to make that decision.

One of the greatest opportunities for learning we have is the Ongoing Oil Painting Classes with Michele Zarb. Michele works with students for 2 hours Tuesday evenings, 6-8pm. This class is mostly individual instruction in a group setting, and great for beginners to well established painters. For $160 a month this one of the best deals going, and it gives you the opportunity to study under the guidance of a professional artist for as long as you want to. Serious students may want to take 2-3 months worth.

Michele also is offering a Gilding Workshop February 12th, and (this is awesome) her popular Mixed Media Workshop March 12th. Working with Powdered Charcoal, Paints, Powdered Metals, Graphite, and anything else imaginable can provide the most incredible results. Click here to go to Michele's web page where you can learn more and register as well.

Cartooning with Chris Britton has been a wonderful addition to our class lineup. Chris offers consecutive classes that build your cartooning skills and knowledge and has great advice for thos wanting to break into the carttoning/illustration industry. Click here to view the class options available now, and keep watch on the website in the near future as our schedule rounds out into the spring.

Derek Gundy's Structural Drawing Class is off and running, but if you missed getting into it, there will be future offerings of this class. Derek is also in the process of developing a "Drawing with Value" Class, as well as a Figure Drawing Class in the near future.
