New Springs Gallery Workshop--

NEW DATE--



Mixed Media Creative Play with Sharon Stolzenberger
Saturday, April 28, 2012, 2 PM – 4 PM
Springs Gallery
Class Fee: $40 (many materials provided)

In this mini-workshop we will explore the joys of mixed media. We'll combine sketching, drawing and acrylic painting with mixed media using stamps, image transfers, stencils and collage. Focus will be on creative play and experimentation with new ways of expressing our familiar subjects through a combination of various materials for truly unique personal statements.

Participants should bring brushes suitable for acrylics, a few acrylic paints, pencils and collage items such as papers, prints, and a piece of watercolor board, heavy art board, or small canvas on which to create their mixed media paintings. The instructor will have on hand supplies needed for stamp making and image transfers, some collage materials and a few acrylics.

A graduate of the Dayton Art Institute, Kettering artist Sharon Stolzenberger began her art career as an illustrator, then art director, with Gibson Greeting Card Company. Now self-employed, Sharon paints full time and exhibits in art shows throughout the country. Her mixed media paintings have won awards in many Ohio Watercolor Society exhibitions and have exhibited nationally in the Society of Animal Artists annual exhibitions. Sharon’s work has also been included in books, such as New Creative Collage Techniques by Nita Leland, and Confident Color by Nita Leland, both from North Light Books.

Gallery Closed Today

Springs Gallery is closed today, Friday, Feb. 24, 2012, until further notice. There's not much business on these Wintery days anyway, but I have some personal things I need to tend to as well. I hope to open back up soon. Stay tuned to this site for updates. You may also call the gallery phone number, 937-409-5047, and you can leave messages at either location; I will respond. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks for your visit.

Impromptu Workshop a Hit!















Ten women (high school friends) from all over the U.S. travelled to Yellow Springs this weekend and one of the items on their agenda was an art experience - so, of course, they thought of Springs Gallery. Jewelry teacher Catherine Wicks whipped up a workshop for the group, in true goddess style, and a good time was had by all. The group was comprised of women now living in Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco. And best of all - the destination (chosen by the group's coordinator, Cara Berg of Cleveland) was a surprise until the last minute. Cara had been to Yellow Springs once before and thought it would be a good destination for a reunion adventure. They stayed at the Glen House, dined at the Emporium and The Winds, and visited many of the shops in town, including Springs Gallery. Thanks, Cara and everyone, for enjoying our little village!

The Goddesses Rule Again!











Our second "Discover the Goddess Within - A Jewelry Workshop" went off today without a hitch. Everyone reports having a good time.

Choosing which pieces to use can be a challenge. There are so many beauties!

Here they all are - with their creative treasures. Did I hear a call for a sequel?
