FREE Program for members
SURPRISE project
Teacher: Sandy Neuling
Medium: Acrylics
Supplies:
Bring usual acrylic brushes and supplies
Fun is the main ingredient for this meeting, but there will also be new products on display. Several companies have agreed to provide free samples of new products on the market, as well as brochures and information on their use. So along with the fun, maybe you will see a new product or medium you’d like to try in the future! These display items will be part of a free raffle and there should be prizes for everyone!

This should be an enjoyable and informative session, so I hope you all can attend. Unfortunately surfaces and supplies will be limited and I ask only members participate.
