Stain Glass and Watercolor Classes to be Offered at Janice Mason Art Museum

        The Janice Mason Art Museum is hosting a stain glass workshop which will be taught by Vickie Karrigan.  The first session will be on Thursday, April 11th at 9:00 A.M. to twelve noon at the Museum.  There will be a total of four, three-hour sessions, each subsequent Thursday at the same time.  If you are interested in taking the class, but can not attend during the day, please contact the museum and a night workshop can be added.

        The class will use the copper foil method rather then the leaded technique.  Stain glass crafting is a wonderful hobby, but it is rather expensive since it requires so many tools and pieces of equipment.  The cost of the class is $125.00 which is a bargain compared to stain glass classes offered in Nashville.  This fee includes $45.00 worth of tools (breaking pliers, running pliers and cutter) that participants will own at the close of the class.  The participant will also pay for the glass used in their individual project.  The price is determined by the color and kind of glass and will vary from approximately $10 to $20.  Each participant will make a panel approximately 12 inches by 12 inches.  The required pre-registration may be accomplished by contacting the museum at 522-9056.  We are delighted that Vicki Karrigan will be conduction this special workshop series at the Janice Mason Art Museum.

        The Museum is also offering a water color class which will have seven sessions that will begin Tuesday, April 9, and meet at 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M..  All subsequent classes will meet Meet on Tuesdays at 6:30 P.M..

        This will be an exciting adventure in watercolor with local artist and retired art teacher, Margaret (Peggy) Kemp, as the instructor.  The class is open to all levels of watercolorist from beginners to accomplished.  The cost is $25.00 per student for the total seven sessions.  Participants will need to furnish their own supplies.  A supply list will be available from the Museum.  The required pre-registration may be accomplished by contacting the museum at 522-9056.   

        The Janice Mason Art Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M., closed Wednesday and open Sunday form 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M..  More information may be found on the web site www.jmam.org.  Come learn with us and have a great time!
