Miller Pads and Paper

Posted in February 2008 Events

Miller Pad and Paper is coming to our February Mid County Support
meeting! Please note that this particular meeting will be held on
Monday February 4th from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

If you are looking for ways to make learning fun by combining art and
hands-on activities with core subjects, this workshop is for you. Renee
Miller will share many ideas and examples that she rarely gets to
finish! She will also teach art basics, in hopes of dispelling the fear
that often grips young moms and keeps them from enjoying art in their
homes with their children.

We will be sure to allow time for questions and answers at the end and
each guest will receive a thank-you gift and an outline of the workshop
that will prove valuable later. While children are welcome, this
workshop is geared to adults (a talk, not a hands on art class).

Don't forget to also sign up for the Barry Stebbing Art Classes.
Renee Miller, of Miller Pad and Paper, will be selling the supplies
needed for the Barry Stebbing Classes. There will be time for shopping
after the session.
