 Laura Lein-Svencner is offering Friday Fusion-Collage, October 3-November 7, 2025, (10:30am-1:00pm), 5 Fridays

$155.00   NO CLASS on October 24!!!
Working with the season of Fall and the richness of color students will learn how to collage with the process of tacking down collage paper with a house iron instead of wet glue. We will create our own collage papers from repurposed sources of found papers. Arranging them in nice compositions and fusing them down on substrates of watercolor paper or wood panels. We will also be extending our knowledge of good design with the elements and principles weaved in our foundation.

Nancy Swingle's art piece "Kaleidescope Mandala" has been accepted into the "illiart" exhibit at Gallery Seven in Lockport. The exhibit is open from October 2 to October 26.  The art reception is on October 12th from 1-3p.
