Art by the Glass: Simple Stencils

Get ready to be amazed as you watch your blank page transform into a multi-layered dynamic painting! Led by artist Laura Raborn, students will learn the technique of using simple stencils to create complex designs. First, we will design and create homemade stencils using items such as card stock and recycled packing materials. Then, using fast drying acrylic paint, the layering process begins!

No prior experience in art is necessary to be part of this program—we welcome guests of all experience levels. All materials are provided, along with light appetizers and one glass of beer or wine. See you there!

$30 ($24/members), register online or by calling Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 to reserve your spot today.
