Watercolor & Tea in the Afternoon starts November 14!

November 1, 2013 by Leave a comment

NEW: Watercolor & Tea in the Afternoon starts Nov. 14! Feed your creative spirit in an adult, music-filled setting each week. Discover the process of painting with a mug of tea and music with Ms. Sylvia! Classes will be held at the Decatur Recreation Center unless noted otherwise.

Discuss and interpret art as you mix your paint, choose your palette and make your own mark on paper and canvas. Bring watercolor pencils, a sharpener and the primary paints, paper, and 3 brushes to your first class. It’s helpful to place all your items in a carry bag.

We will always take time to drink tea and explore new flavors and music while we work. Occasionally if the class is small, we may take our class to a café or garden within walking distance. Remember a mug for tea!

Classes will be Thursday @230p-400p on Nov. 14, 21 and Dec. 5, 12 (no class on Thanksgiving Thursday) $95 for the 4-week series.

Arts, Crafts, Music, and Walking this Week

September 23, 2013 by Leave a comment

New on our class list at the Recreation Center are arts & crafts classes for ADULTS! Gillian and Sylvia are both wonderful and busy instructors who have agreed to teach. In October we have a Watercolor and Tea in the Afternoon course along with a Craft series of 3 arts that prepare you for the holiday gift season. Gillian is a talented metalsmith featured at the High Museum and will teach Jewelry making, Paper sculpting, and Book making. Sylvia directs an entire studio gallery of artists and will offer the watercolor along with the chance to sip tea, learn about new flavors, all set to music. Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful studio experience?

Come and see for yourself and free your inner artist in an adult-only setting during the day.

Music wise, we hope to find an instructor to offer music therapy so if you have any leads send them our way; and in the meantime we will pop into the square downtown this week at noon on Wednesday for the last Blue Sky Concert series of September. Note, our regular weekly Walk With a Doc will depart at 11am and end at the square at ~12pm for the concert. Leading us this week is Melissa Bloom, PT, DPT, NCS whose specialty is vertigo/balance/dizziness issues and who comes to us from PhysioCorp as a Neurologic Physical Therapist.
