Fairy Gardens at Lindisfarne with Catherine King

Saturday, August 15th * 10:00am to 12:00pm

**You may arrive just after 9:00am if you wish to forage for your own Fairy Garden fixings**

Visit Lindisfarne, a beautiful 80 acre homestead in Tipton, full of wonder and Fairy garden fun. Unleash your imagination as you build your fairy garden with pre-collected natural materials provided by the hostess, or come up to an hour early to explore and collect your favorite building treasures. Each participant will be provided with a stump on which to build rooms, garden spaces, furniture, bridges, ladders, etc. Hot glue, tacky glue, and scissors will be available. We recommend you bring garden clippers for larger pieces. Facilities are primitive with an outhouse and an outdoor sink. Wear comfortable walking shoes if you plan to forage.

Participants are asked to park next to the Art Barn. Exact Location will be provided a few days before the event. Proceeds will help support Lindisfarne and all of the good things happening there.

Location: Tipton, MI, exact address will be provided before the event.

Try your hand at making blown-glass ornaments. Using an oxygen-propane torch, students will learn basic techniques for using pre-blown glaskolben to make blown-glass ornaments. Frit will be used to add color to the clear glaskolben. Learning how to control heat, gravity and blowing techniques will determine your success. Creating these colorful ornaments will provide students a basis for working glass further in the torch. Each student will be provided 6 glaskolben. When you pick up your ornaments, be sure to bring packing material and a small container to transport your ornaments to the safety of your home. Basic torch safety will be discussed.

Alternative Processes in Reduction Printmaking

Students will use power tools, hand tools, nails, screwdrivers, and any tool they choose to make marks on the surface of the plywood printing plate. We will start out by printing a solid color, then gradually reduce the surface of our plate with our mark-making techniques and print contrasting colors with each reduction layer. Students will come away with a small edition of prints from this class.Abstract imagery works best for this process, especially for students' first time experimenting with it. Students just need to bring a sense of adventure.

Saturday, November 7, and Sunday November 8 

1 pm til 5:30 pm 

Please note our print studio is in a historic building with stairs. 

BEVELED GLASS ORNAMENTS

Linda Jacobs, Instructor

Learn to use the glass tools and beveled glass pieces to create an original holiday or any day ornament. We have a variety of bevels to select from, add a little stained glass color around the outside, add a little copper foil and solder everything together. Attach a wire to hang and you’re ready for the holidays!
