a "Lot" of Art
Growing Downtown Attraction

The first of the year "Lot" of art opened on May 21st, and even with rain and cool weather gathered quite few people. New vendors this year included farm fresh eggs and organic produce, vegetable and flower baskets, bird houses and a found jewelry artist. Of course some of regulars from last year were also set up, metal garden art, pottery and photography. We are expecting more farmers, artists, hot dog and a kettle corn vendors on upcoming dates. Hope we see you there!

FREE Demonstration
Making Paper

Artist and instructor Janet Berthon will be giving a free demonstration on making paper, Saturday May 28th at 1 pm.

Handmade paper is not only fun to make but has many uses. Jan will show how the pulp is made, what can be added for color and texture, how to use molds and how to make the sheets.  You can use watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastels, pen and ink, almost all medias lend themselves to handmade papers for one of a kind art. Great to use for cards too.

The demonstration is free, and will be a lot of fun, hope you can join us!

From the Gallery
We still have a few of the silkscreened tee shirts with designs from Lydia and Ken Strange and the White Tiger of Charles Hubbard. Once they are gone they will not be reprinted. Each shirt is signed and numbered by the artist.
We have candy!! The hard to find old fashioned kind. Makes great gifts for young and old.
The gallery is a great place to shop for gifts, we not only have paintings for walls, there is pottery, jewelry, glassware, turned wood and even the gift card to go with your one of a kind gift.
Classes are on going in the gallery, watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel and special children's classes are also available. Check our website  www.plateauartsalive.org for current listings.
Stop in to check us out!! We look forward to meeting you.

 

Sincerely,
