Pocket Fish Pond
See how this fun class can open your imagination in so many ways! Students will create a simple but stunning ‘pocket pond’ by crafting a koi fish with clay, decorating with mixed media and natural elements, and finally adding a layer of resin ‘water’ to give that glossy realistic look. Projects will be available for pickup later in the week. All materials will be included, and no experience is required.

Lewis LaBrashé describes himself as an Artist/Expressionist. Inspired by the natural landscapes he encounters while hiking, he loves recreating these in his work. Many of his paintings are directly influenced by the time he spends in nature. LaBrashé feels that working in one medium is too restrictive, so often uses multiple media (including acrylics, resins and pastels) to achieve the desired effect. or ideas.”

One Main Street
Artist: Stephanie Krimmel
Title: 'Thousands of Small Steps"
Exhibition Dates: January 14-April 2, 2023
‘Thousands of Small Steps’ celebrates growth and perseverance by demonstrating the cumulative effect of daily practice. The artist writes the following about the work:
"In May 2018, I began making a digital painting every day. It started as a challenge to myself to reclaim my creativity, and became a sustaining passion that continues to grow. The resulting series, called the Daily Art Habit, is now built over 1500 consecutive day’s practice. It has recorded my transformation from a business consultant into an artist and has become a metaphor for growth through practice and perseverance. Installed as a group, the daily pieces from the series provoke questions around the individual versus the collective and present growth as constant yet non-linear process."
