Wow, already into July. In honor of our Veterans, we will be doing a service project making lap throws for George E. Wahlen Veterans Home in Ogden, Utah. Please come support our Chapter, bring friends, kids, neighbors and plenty of fleece and scissors to help us make these throws for our countries heroes. Before we know it, winter will be here and they will be in need of warm blankets.
A
huge Thanks to Lisa Peck for driving up from SLC to teach us the
beautiful Partridge Primer by Erika Joanne. Not only did we learn to
use the colored pencils along with our paints but we had a blast with
Lisa and her darling bubbly personality. Everyone did so well and we
had so many different surfaces making for some extraordinary pieces.
We
have a great selection of teachers and projects coming up for our
Saturday paint-ins and October Seminar. Don’t forget to check out
the classes and sign up.
Have
an incredible month of July and be aware of safety out there. Too
many people are being injured or losing their lives this year.

Painting supplies like palette paper, brushes, and tracing paper are always welcome as are nice wood or metal surfaces. Other items could include potted plants and candy. If you would like to receive it, it will probably make a good raffle item.
