Grab your friends and join Gina Stowell for after school art classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:30pm to 6pm.
You will learn a variety of techniques including Pointillism Painting in February, how to make a collage in March, Printmaking in April, and Native American Horse Masks in May.
To register or for more information, please call Gina at (530) 318-3639.
One on Gina’s specialties is Face Painting where you learn about blending and line work to create different cat faces, princess, monster masks and gruesome wounds. Face Painting for Kids is a hands-on class that comes with your own pallet of professional water soluble theatrical paints. Face painting is uniquely fascinating in that the design transforms the wearer. Gina’s designs will lift and transport you to new and wild places. From a feline to a beast to a sad or happy clown; face painting will make you laugh, make you jump, make you growl.
