We are warm! We love being warm. Our heating systems are our champions. Thank you to Hoffman Plumbing & Heating, Current Energy Solutions, Momper Insulation, and Ohio Indiana Roofing for taking what was once called a drafty old barn and turning it into a comfortable place to be even with the current ridiculous wind chill factors. While we did have to rearrange a Rotary meeting lunch and two classes we are thankful we have an awesome place to do our work.<\/p>\n

Since our first Classic Watercolor Class was supposed to begin Tuesday we are going to lower the price for a three week session. Class will resume next Tuesday\u00a0morning at 10 a.m., at a reduced cost. Instructor is Pat\u00a0Rayman. While this is an ongoing class, newcomers are more\u00a0than welcome! Give us a call to\u00a0sign up, and we will provide you a list of materials required.<\/p>\n

The additional evening winter class \u2013 Pottery Throwing \u2014 which was also supposed to begin today will now run\u00a0Jan. 14-Feb. 7, beginning at 6 p.m.\u00a0The instructor is local potter Dan McMahon. Students will\u00a0learn basic throwing techniques and create items for a mini-exhibit and reception to be held at the end of the\u00a0class session on Feb. 14 will coincide with our upcoming event, \u201cThe Big Wassky.\u201d Cost for this class is $55 for members and\u00a0$60 for non-members. All materials are included.<\/p>\n

In February, back by popular demand, Matt Temple will put on his Anime\/Manga hat to teach a class for ages 8\u00a0and up. Dates and details will be provided in a future column. \u00a0Also in February, we hope to add some children\u2019s\u00a0art classes.\u00a0Please contact us for information on exhibits, classes, and activities.<\/p>\n

By now most of you have heard we know how to have a good time around here. Here’s your chance to find out for yourself. \u201cThe Big Wassky\u201d is happening Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Transport yourselves to the juice joints of the roaring 20s with live music provided by popular Toledo band \u201cDistant Cousinz.\u201d Why is this you speak? It’s easy! We are throwing a membership drive and your password and a few clams get you and a St. Valentines Day loved one in the door, all for a swell cause. We want you to know what all that roar is about so give us a call, we’ll give you the skinny. Flappers and 1920s fashions encouraged.<\/p>\n
