2022 March Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

I want to thank everyone who attended the Paint-in with Rachael Bush. Alcohol and Ink was new to many of use, so it was good to learn something new. It was a really interesting and fun class and everyone went home with a clock and several finished book markers. Thank you Rachael for coming to our Chapter.

In March Terry will be teaching Mudded Eggs. Linda Sharp taught us this technique at a seminar in September of 2018. For some of us it will be a good review. For others, a new style of painting.

And don't forget our April seminar with Carol Spohn. If you have not sent in your $50 deposit, I urge you to do so. We may be having a special Monday night workshop with Carol. More information to follow, so check the newsletter for updates.
