No Meeting for July...but come August we have a full day!

MEETINGS

July  -  No meeting

 

August 2 - 9:30-3:00  This is a wonderful time to work on our Exquisite Corpse together helping each other through inspiration and witnessing this project.
The project will need to be completed by mid-October so they're ready for the November exhibit at Indian Prairie Public Library. Bring your Three Wood Panels and hardware packet
Suggested supplies
Glue that you use         Collage papers

Paint, brushes               Your templates
Drawing materials         Fixative sprays
Table covering               Water bucket
Cutting mats                  Scissors Utility knife etc.
Baby wipes
                    Embellishment ex: stencils, stamps

Watch out for the 3Diminsional items as they won't store well. The intention is that it will be a traveling exhibit and will be stored in tubs when not exhibiting.  We would like to use more paint and collage on these pieces.
If you are not making an EX COR, you can come and work on anything you would like. Bring you supplies,  We don't want to leave you out from participating with a group, it might be nice for those that can't make the retreat to have the closeness of the group experience too.
Bring your lunch, drinks and snacks if you plan on staying the whole time.
