Membership Meeting

January 13, 2025, 2:30 - 4:30

 

Our challenge for the January member meeting will be “Let the Blanks do the Talking”.  We will use our recent donation by Wendy Braun from the estate of her mother, local artist Patricia Wehr in our challenge.  Patricia Wehr was a folk artist and our donation includes many objects that she had collected over the years that inspired her but were left unfinished.  Let’s let the blanks that Patricia left for us inspire us in the January challenge.  We have stars, moons, clock faces, plaques, and other mostly wooden objects for the basis for your inspiration.   We will have blank forms available at our upcoming October and November meetings for you to choose from.  Attend either the October or November member meetings, check the available forms and see what appeals to you.  We invite you to take one, two or three, whatever inspires you.  There is no charge for the blank forms.  

 

Please note that the January member meeting will be the second Monday of the month due to a federal holiday on the third Monday, 1-13-25.
