NEW ARTSHARE PROGRAM LETS ADULTS PLAY WITH THE KIDS

Casa de Linda Art Center of New Braunfels is offering a new way for adults to share the creative experience with a special child in their life: ARTshare.

Any combination of one adult and one child is welcome, making it a great way to share the experience with a son or daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew or even a child that you mentor or fill role of Big Brother or Big Sister.

Minimum age of the child varies depending on the class. In some ARTshare classes, the adult and child work on the same piece together; in other classes they work on their own art but side by side with each other.

Classes, which are scheduled for Saturday mornings, are held at either the Art Center, located at 850 S. Business I-35 in New Braunfels, or at the Casa de Linda Art Studio located above the New Braunfels Art League Gallery downtown. Space is limited so pre-registration is required.




The first class scheduled for 2011 is titled “Containers: Mugs and Treasure Jars” and will be taught be Adrienne Speer, a ceramic artist whose work is in collections worldwide. The clay class will meet twice, on Jan. 8 and 22, from 9:30 a.m.-12 noon. The adult and child, age 8-16, can choose to make matching projects or each go in their own direction for this ARTshare. Fee is $95 per adult/child pair, which includes clay, glazes and firings.

Future ARTshare classes include: a family pet papier mache class meeting Saturdays in February and taught by yours truly (Linda Jacobson); one-day silk painting and nuno felting classes taught by fiber artist Leila Reynolds; a two-day ceramic birdhouse class taught by Speer; and one-day stained glass wind chimes, stepping stone inlaid with stained glass and broken china jewelry classes taught by Lynette Clauser. Children as young as 5 can participate in the papier mache, silk painting and nuno felting classes. All other classes are open to ages 8 and up.

For more information call me at 830-624-5302 or visit www.casadelinda.com.
