Make people smile teach an art or craft class

I would like to invite you to consider teaching a workshop at the Artisan Gallery in Cowan, TN. The FCAG/Artisan Depot supports and promotes local artists and educators. We are located at 204 E. Cumberland Street, just down the mountain from Sewanee.
For the past several years  we have offered  a wide variety of workshops and we are excited to continue to provide a friendly and conveniently located  space  in lovely rural Franklin County, TN that offers the community a place to explore their creativity, from beginners to advanced.
The process for offering a workshop is simple:

1. Fill out the Workshop Proposal Form available online at www.franklincoarts.org/workshops. Email to [email protected], ATTN: Tanya.
2. Provide a couple of dates and times you would like to teach.
I will contact you to finalize details and answer questions and will then set up registration at the Franklin County Arts Guild Website Page.
Note: Teachers set their own rates for workshops, of which the Gallery receives 20%. Teachers are responsible for promoting their workshops. The FCAG assists in workshop promotion and student recruitment.

More information about the FCAG and teaching workshops can be found online at www.franklincoarts.org. If you have any questions or ideas about teaching a workshop and being part of art promotion in our community please contact me. Help us spread the word by passing along this email to someone who might be interested.

May your year be full of happy, creative exploration!
Best,
Tanya Ingvoldstad Otero

Mosaic Wall Hanging or Stepping Stone Beginners Class

This 2 part mosaic workshop will be held at the instructor's home: ​Instructor: Carol Vandenbosch
You can choose a date
Thursdays, February 13, 9am-3pm part 1 & Februay 20, 10am-noon part 2
OR
Saturdays, March 14, 9am-3pm part 1 & March 21, 10am-noon part 2
​Class fee: $50 (online registration required)
Materials fee: $30 (to be paid directly to the instructor)
Workshop begins at 9 a.m. until midafternoon. It is suggested you bring a light lunch as we will work right through the noon hour until midafternoon. You will return for part 2, to grout your piece…this will just take an hour.
Participants will be able to select the project that interests them….wooden wall piece, with or without mirror or stepping stone. Basic techniques will be taught using different adhesives and materials.
This kind of work is the utmost in recycling since most of its materials are recycled pieces finding a second life in art. The end creation will be something to be treasured and admired, and very personal to each creator. All necessary materials will be provided, but participants are invited to bring any personal items they may wish to incorporate into their finished creation - broken dishes, costume jewelry, single tiles, shells, coins, small stones, beads, buttons, marbles, etc.
