Showcase

While I asked permission to take each of these photos, I neglected to ask if each artist wanted to have a first name and last initial posted.

I will do better in the future!

Showcase: June-July 2025

A Box FULL of Art

It is really fun to see a family come into the Art Lab and explore.

We try to pack up all the projects safely, so they can go home.

Note the wonderful coiled clay snake, a coaster, and several painted projects from February 8.

Foam & Stick Sculpture

February 8, 2025

Valentine Wall Hanging

The wonderful wall hanging was made by an adult visitor.

Needlework

Yarn on burlap.

Yarn Bracelet.... and....

One of our artists discovered that the yarn bracelet method could be changed to make a VERY LARGE yarn.... DOG TOY!

Cat Toy

Another artist designed a cat toy, using materials from our sculpture station.

Cardboard Sculpture

Look at the wonderful details on this dog!

Cake!

One of our adult artists fashioned this elaborate piece of cake from foam, hot glue, and string.

More Sculpture...

How about a koi pond?

Clay

We don't always have air-dry clay available....

but when we DO, our artists make lovely things!

A Darling Gnome

What can. you make with cardboard?

And paint?

And some fun printed papers?

This Gnome was made by one of our adult artists.

Fabulous Flower

Look at all the wonderful details!

Stitching is for kids...

Wow!

These pieces were done by some very patient young artists.

... and for grown-ups

Adults can have fun too.

A lovely chain stitch piece.

Sculpture

When I bring wood pieces to the Art Lab, they always disappear quickly.

Wood, hot glue, and paint make this fun piece.

Blakely!

If we were an airline, Blakely would get "frequent flyer" points!

She is often found in our cardboard sculpture area. I wish I had a better view of the fun DOG....

Metallic Paints

Once again, I asked to take the photo but I forgot to ask if I should add her name. This artist was new to me today. She carefully painted a black background, then waited and waited until it dried. Then she added the glittery metallic paint.

I think I will put up some samples of this technique.... starting with DARK PAPER....
