Robbinsdale Area Schools Community Education

Learn the art of creating beautiful flower paintings in acrylic paint using only one stroke for each petal or leaf. In this class you will learn the proper technique for loading your brush with paint, to create contrast and movement in each leaf and flower. You will also learn which brushes are best for each stroke.

Looking for a new way to use a familiar medium? Pour painting is an innovative way to use acrylic paint to create an art piece. In this class you will learn the process of mixing acrylic paints with other materials to give it a more fluid consistency so that it can be poured directly onto a canvas.  All supplies are included. It is recommended that painting be left overnight to dry.

Reuse and repurpose worn out clothing, worn out linens and/or leftover fabrics into beautiful, creative rag rugs by learning the techniques of Twined Rag Rugs. At the completion of the two-evening class, you will leave with a loom, completed 20”x 32” rug, and the skill to create more lasting pieces for your home. It takes only 12-15 hours to complete these works of art.“Janet is a wonderful instructor and made it a fun class. I learned a lot and ended up with a rag rug that I'm very happy with (and using). She gave group instruction as well as sufficient individual help so that we could get through own tasks. I liked looking at our final products as a group and evaluating ourselves as well as critiques from Janet. I would take the class again just to fine-tune the areas that I know could use a little more 'polish' to them.” - Participant, Spring 2018
