Springs Gallery offering 2 Painting Workshops

Springs Gallery is offering the first two of what we hope will be many, varied classes and workshops. On Wednesday, August 31, 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and again on Thursday, September 15, 4 pm to 7 pm, we're hosting Dayton artist Mike Elsass, known for his abstract paintings on rusted steel. Mike and his students will be painting outside Springs Gallery on King's Yard. The cost is $70 for one session or $140 for both. All materials are provided, including the loan of a tuxedo shirt to get messy in.

Since it's on the public King's Yard you can, of course, just observe. But if you want to create and take home a piece of your own - just sign up. Registration forms are available in the gallery and the information is also posted here below.

Springs Gallery carries some of the work of Mike Elsass and we are thrilled to be able to offer the fun and informal instruction by such a talented and respected artist. Come join us in this adventure!

Note: All ages are welcome/rain or shine (unless it's pouring, of course, then we'll figure something out). Hope you can join us!

Above are 2 images I made of Mike's paintings. On the top/left is a 12 x 12" untitled piece, and on the bottom/right is a 12 x 15" painting titled "Teapot Rock 1, Sedona, Arizona."
