Gelli Plate Printing Jamboree

On Sunday The Coo hosted its first Gelli Plate Printing Jamboree and what fun everyone had! For just $5.00, people could come and try their hands at making prints using Gelli plates. I think the pictures speak for themselves as the ladies played to their hearts content with Gelli plates, paint, stencils, texture tools, etc. Gelli P Arts - Gel Printing Plate is going to be HOT at The Coo...look for some fun class offerings in the months to come...

February Bookbinding / Artistic Journal Gathering

The February Bookbinding/Artistic Journal Gathering was a huge success and the results were amazing! Check out the photos and see what fun everyone had at The Coo and what great journals they were able to take home. You gotta love this place - ha ha!

Rent-A-Table

NEW AT THE COO: RENT-A-TABLE: 

People have been asking for it, so I have decided to give it a try. Each month there will be TWO opportunities to come and reserve a spot at a table and work on unfinished projects (this is NOT a class…there will be no instruction, but assistance will be available). What you work on (scrapbooking, card making, unfinished “stuff”) is up to you and the charge is $5.00 per session. The Rent-A-Table days will be held on the first Thursday and/or the second Sunday of each month. There will be a morning session (10:00am – 1:00pm on Thursdays and 11:00am – 2:00pm on Sundays) and an afternoon session (2:00pm – 5:00pm on Thursdays and Sundays). Participants may register for one or two sessions and may bring lunch and snacks to stay fueled. 

PLEASE NOTE: For the month of February ONLY, this will NOT be available on the SECOND Sunday but on the THIRD Sunday due to a scheduling conflict.

Art Warrior Dolls

PAINTING FACES FOR ART WARRIOR DOLLS: Participants in this workshop will learn how to paint faces that can be used on an art warrior doll. The doll will NOT be made in this workshop; however, a kit to make the doll will be available to purchase (The Art Warrior Doll Kit is $15.00). Workshop will be held on Saturday, February 18, from 9:00am – 12:30pm. Fee for workshop is $30.00. All materials and supplies provided.

ART WARRIOR DOLLS: In this workshop Celeste and Merri will help you to channel your creativity to make an art warrior that reflects all that is brave, inspiring and fun. Make this whimsical creation for yourself or to use as a gift for someone who could use a little love. The doll uses scraps of fabric, embellishments and printed sayings to convey your personality. A secret pocket on the back of your warrior is for that special something such as a gift card or words of wisdom. Workshop will be held on Saturday, February 18, from 1:30pm – 5:00pm. Fee for the workshop is $45.00. All materials and supplies are provided.

February Journal Jam

Terry Peattie conducts these monthly workshops, which currently consist of two groups (one group meets on the third Sunday, the other on the fourth Saturday of each month) with 10 members each. Each month a 2-page spread project is presented and taught involving various mixed media techniques. Those who are not regular members of the fixed groups are able to sign up to attend as a “guest” in the event that a regular member is unable to attend. Please contact either Sharon or Terry if you are interested in signing up to have your name added to attend (possibly) as a guest.
