PAINTED CANVAS FLOOR CLOTHS
September 11, 18, 25-taught by PAT DOMOGALLA. Canvas floor cloths are made of canvas, coated with white house paint and designed as desired with acrylics. Pat has original designs for you to use or you can create your own. These floor cloths are reminiscent of the old days when grandma had these great floor coverings on her floor. You can make yours look very modern or old fashioned. This project can be completed at home after it is started in class. After painting and drying, it needs about 6-7 coats of clear sealer to protect the canvas and design. Pat has had one in use for 12 years and it still looks like new and is easy to care for. Floor cloths may also be hung on a wall as art. The decorated canvas rug is approximately 20-24” wide and 30-32” long. A hexagonal shape can also me made, or a larger rectangular one, but the instructor needs advance notice. Supply list. Saturday mornings, 9:00-12:00. $50 for the class and $10 to the instructor for canvas and canvas preparation.* |

adventure! Learn how to put the fun in functional. How to rescue, reclaim and recycle an unwanted piece of furniture (or household accessory), transforming it into a fully-functional work of art! Choose from a selection of already-primed pieces of furniture (lamps/shades, mirrors, chairs, small tables, vases, candlesticks, etc.), and discover how very rewarding this level of recycling can be! If you want to bring your own item to re-create, you need to select something wooden, metal, or ceramic ... prime it using water-based KILZ primer (can be found at Wal-Mart, or any paint store), and let it thoroughly dry. That would be your 3-dimensional “canvas”. Check out Dena’s creations at “Serendipities by Dena” on the computer and you will have an idea of the changes you can make to something ordinary. Supply list. Saturday, 9:00-5:00. $40 plus the item fee ($5-$10) if you choose to purchase from Dena.* |
