Golden Spike Decorative Painters

 2022 April Newsletter

Hello Painters,

Everyone seemed to enjoy working with Margot Clark's “Mudd”. It really is a easy technique to do and produces a very striking piece of art. It is also pretty quick and most everyone went home with a beautiful finished egg for Easter.

Our long awaited Seminar with Carol Spohn is this month (April 5^th and 6^th ). If you have not fully paid for the Seminar you need to do that NOW!  Carol will also be teaching an evening Workshop on Monday (April 4^th). You do not have to attend the seminar to come to the workshop, but space is limited so contact Tirzah ASAP if you wish to attend. The Workshop will be held at Maria's Mexican Restaurant. We will meet at Maria's at 5 pm for dinner and the Workshop will take place after.  Please join us for both.

In May Lydia Gossett will be teaching the Leaf Man Banner on Roc-Lon. Helen Mahoney will be teaching a Erika Joanne Watercolor Quail piece in June. We have several other classes lined up and a fall seminar, so keep check the newsletter for updates.
