NEW
CAMERA
August meeting we used the new projection system
that we have obtained for use in meetings and seminars. It makes
it easy for everyone to see placement of paint in the design,
and our microphone makes it easy for the teacher to be heard.
Left is a photo of Pat Otto demonstrating the camera as she
taught the rose project at the August meeting. |

WEBMASTER:
I would like to put up articles and photos and any information
you would like to have on your site. I am planning a teacher page
so that students can find a teacher near them and improve their
techniques in between chapter meetings. The more you learn, the more you
enjoy the classes offered at meetings! Teachers: Please email me your
class schedules including location, times and project level, description
of projects and photos if possible, of upcoming projects. At
this time there will be no charge.
I would also like to include ads of things for sale, such as wood,
gourds, tin, actually anything that would interest painters. The fee
will be the same as the newsletter. Please send copy-ready art to me and
the check made out to FSDA with a notation "Web ad" to Carol Adams,
treasurer. Since we don't sell things at meetings, this is an excellent
way to let folks know about your products. Thanks!
