Wednesday Dec 17 - Final OS of 2008

Holiday Special!

This is our last Open Studio of 2008. We have some holiday cheer planned!

All who attend are encouraged to bring an untagged wrapped gift.

This can be handmade or store bought, but please, no need to go over the $10 maximum!

This gift exchange has a twist so we hope many of you will come out to play!

And bring a hat! (or one will be supplied for you...but you won't want that!)

Wednesday, November 19th - GOLDEN OPEN ACRYLICS

at the Open Studio, Robinson's YIG
12 noon till 3pm
Another Fabulous Product Demo by Donna deVries Buchan!
Hosted by North Art Supplies

GOLDEN OPEN ACRYLICS

It's like nothing you've used before! Remains blendable long after regular acrylics are dry... and even after the paint skins over, it can be re-opened and reworked. All I can say is - What took them so long?? Come see how this great new product performs!

• Feels like no other paint
• Stays wet longer
• Expands the boundaries of acrylics
  

GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics are a true departure from all other acrylics on the market. Designed with a unique and relaxed set of working characteristics, OPEN Acrylics dramatically expand the range of techniques that are available to artists who prefer to use acrylics.

Wednesday, November 12th- ARTIST TRADING CARD WORKSHOP -

at the Open Studio, Robinson's YIG
Hosted by North Art Supplies - a great way to share your art and enthusiasm!

ARTIST TRADING CARDS are miniature works of art created on a 2 ½ X 3 ½ inch (or 64 X 89 mm) card. They are originals or small editions, designed to reflect your artistic spirit. The essence of the workshop is about artists meeting and exchanging their works, enriching everyone's artistic experience by being exposed to many personal styles. Make a card, and take a card - make two, take two. Begin your own little collection right here.

Suggested materials:
- quality heavy cardstock or watercolour paper (you can pre-cut to 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches, or create first and cut later)
- paint, markers, pencils, crayons, photographs, collage materials... use your imagination!

North Art will also have lots of cards & materials on hand - some free to try, and some at a minimal cost.

Get tuned-up for Strathmore Artist Papers Great Holiday Swap!
Strathmore Artist Papers is hosting a global artist trading card swap! Create your own holiday or winter-themed trading card and they'll pass it on. In exchange, you will receive an original piece of art from another artist somewhere around the world. Materials must be postmarked by November 26, 2008, so we'll be right on time!
