[News Boquete] Paper Making Class w Lunch and Cement Art Class and Stained Glass Class


Paper Making  and Lunch
February 25  10 am till (its open ends when you get tired)  $25
with Chris McCall    

Making your own paper is fun, easy, and a delightful project. Free your creativity! Note that this class won't teach you to make printer-quality office paper (although you can recycle used office paper to make your own new paper)--it'll teach you to create pages of personalized paper upon which to pen your powerful sentiments, or create cards, or just to frame as a piece of art work, or 3 D cast paper.  Homemade paper lends a distinctive personal touch to any project.

This class is a lot of fun!  Paper is easy to make and the results are always great!
Sign up for this fun class, and go home with some distinctive and different paper.

All tools, paper and other supplies will be supplied but you can bring things to put in your paper, light weight thin items are best, dried flower petals, feathers, thread, shells, bric brac, grass, sticks insects, ribbons, the list is endless etc.  Cost is $25

Lunch

Making Paper is so much fun it is like having a party so we are going to include a delicious lunch of a Garden Bouquet Mixed Salad with Gorgonzola cheese, and crispy baked italian chicken and Ice Tea.   Bring your own drinks.  (wine, pop etc)

You must pay for this class in advance
