March 2nd Meeting

Our March meeting will be Sunday, March 2, from 12:30-3:00 pm at the Darien Municipal Center, 1710 Plainfield Rd., Darien.  Studio fee will be $5.

Our own June Fuerstenhaefer will demonstrate how to turn found objects into tools for making designs or "marks" on your collage work. Exciting results come from everyday items that you might otherwise throw out. Recycling takes on a whole new meaning.  After the demonstration there will be a hands on workshop.  Below are the supplies that June suggests you bring:

 

Supply List:

Bring 2 empty Toilet Paper rolls. (Trust me on this!)
