Plans were made for their presence at the PA Heritage Festival on September 19th and 20th. It would be a good idea if members who were not able to be at the meeting would consider exhibiting three or four of their pictures at the festival. If you are interested in doing so, please call Melody Lewis at 570-596-3425 or email her at [email protected] to let her know.
The October 13th meeting will be held at 10:30 A.M. at the First Presbyterian Church of Troy. Help is needed finish filling up the schedule for October to April 2016 Circuit schedule at that meeting. Don’t forget to bring an entry for this year’s Christmas Card. Brad Krise will be giving a demonstration following the business meeting.
Following the business meeting, Karen Cooke gave a fascinating demonstration of techniques for painting with alcohol-based inks on ceramic tiles.
This is a very flexible and spontaneous way of creating intriguing pictures using colored inks, rubbing alcohol, and simple tools. Other possible bases for this technique are glass and Yupo paper. She holds classes in this and other painting and craft techniques at her gallery outside Mansfield.
Everyone present was very thankful that Karen was willing to come and share her experiences with them.
