Ceramics Painting!


Creatively Yours in Crossroads is going to help us earn a painting patch.  On Sunday 11/18, we have the opportunity to paint 6"x6" tiles (perhaps for a Christmas present?).  Then at a later date we will tour the ceramics painting studio and learn about the kiln and why you fire ceramics.  In order to earn the patch, you need to attend both - but if you just want to paint the tile, that is fine too.

Please RSVP to Laura by Mon. 11/12 so that we have ample time to pick up supplies.

If you draw your design ahead of time on a piece of paper (draw a 6"x6" square so you get the proportions right, you can just transfer it to the tile and start painting - but don't make it too intricate, the brushes are probably pretty big.  Some ideas if you are giving a gift are:
  • the first letter of your last name
  • a colorful fish
  • a mushroom
  • a butterfly
  • a flower garden
  • a self portrait (every mother loves that)
  • whatever you love to draw

Time:  Sunday, 11/18  4:00-5:00pm
Where:  the art room at Mercerview Community Center
Bring:  Clothes that can get messy (and maybe painted on) and your design on a piece of paper
RSVP:  to Laura by Mon. 11/12

** Please note that we are not able to have food or drinks at this event.  Please make sure to eat a snack before you come.

P.S.  Thank you Laura for coming up with this great idea!
