April-Painting on Tiles

April 6, 2023

Presented by Susie S

The class was held in the Blandy Experimental Farm ‘Classroom’ with great enthusiasm. Susie brought a large selection of glazing paints, brushes, tissue paper and pens. Each member worked on a small square tile, painting whatever subject they chose. Once completed, Susie took the tiles to her studio, where she will fire the tiles. The art shown here are the tiles before being fired. Susie will be bringing the group their “fired” tiles to the May class. And the final tiles will be shown in the May entry.

It will be fun to see what the final “fired” art looks like on each tile.

The finished tiles – all glazed. Thanks Susie!

Painting the Still Life

February 2. 2023

Presented by Patsy and Gail

At its best, a still life will tell a story important to the artist whether it is as simple as your grandmother’s favorite teapot and cup along with a few eggs or it’s a highly challenging array of shiny glass and silver.
