Our Watercolor/Drawing Class has moved their day and time!

Starting July 1, Daria Blanton’s painting class will be every Wednesday, from 11:00 -1:00 pm, in our Craft Room. She will be teaching watercolor painting and the basics of drawing skills. Students are responsible for their own materials, and a supply list will be provided. The classes are drop-in because we all have busy schedules. The cost per class is $10 paid to the instructor.
