Past Classes at the Center
ATC's, other wise known as Artist Trading Cards, with Dawn Meisch
This 2 day workshop was so much fun and relaxing. You don't need to be an artist to make the cards and booklet, you just need a little creativity, or boost , and you can create any type of card you wish to give away, trade with others or keep for yourself.
I think they should change the name to Artistic Trading Cards though. Because you don't have to be an "Artist".
But we had a lot of fun at the workshop and it can be addictive. Once you start you don't want to stop.
If you are a writer of poetry this would be a great way to show case your short poems or haikus.
We are offering another workshop in July. See below.
Anatomy & Design with Boswell Williams.
In this class students learned how to draw the human body. Here are a couple examples from one of the students.
 
And we are offering this class again. See below!

Eagles Nest
The Eagles Nest purchased HUNDREDS of open stock frames of all shapes, sizes, colors and styles.
Unfortunately a fellow small business owner had to close the doors, but we were able to help him out a little by purchasing the frames.
If you have a picture or print that you want to match a frame to, please call for an appointment. If we don't have
one in the size you are looking for, if it is a bit larger, we can resize it for you for a nominal fee. All frames are priced to sell.
