Can you host a class?

 Good Morning!


What would you think of hosting a 4 hour painting class?  Art panels and paints, etc. are supplied.  Just bring clothes that you might get paint on. It only takes 6 people to hold a class.


Barn quilts from these classes are painted on aluminum panels with exterior paint that should be expected to last 50+ years.  The same materials are used by state and national parks.  I bring about 200 colors of latex paint to the class.


Classes are best with limited to 4-5 hours.  Longer than that people start falling asleep. Occasionally I send paint home with a participant so they can finish at their convenience.


You can see photos from classes at www.TheBarnQuilter.net.  In the past I have held classes at John A. Logan College, the Herrin and Carterville community centers, SIH offices, Plantscape and in my own studio (garage.)


Cost of the class depends on the size they choose.  16"=$50, 24"=$75 (most popular) & 30" = $100.


Please give me a call to discuss a class for your group or location.  I don't mind traveling up to 50 miles from Carterville. 


Thanks for your consideration!   And have a great day!

art therapy continued...

Art Painting Therapy: A Canvas for Healing Art painting therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process of making art to explore and express emotions, thoughts, and experiences. It's a powerful tool for individuals of all ages to process complex feelings, build self-esteem, and enhance problem-solving skills. How Does It Work? In art therapy, the focus isn't on creating a masterpiece, but on the process itself. Through guided exercises and open-ended activities, individuals can:  * Express emotions: Art provides a non-verbal outlet for feelings that are difficult to put into words.
