DABBLERS and DILETTANTES

Arts & Crafts is planning to offer 2 hour sample "dabbling"  classes in each media so that Villagers can experience the medium - drawing, watercolor, pastels, oil, acrylics, collage - before they invest in expensive tools to take a full blown class.  If you are interested in a sample class in any one of the six, call President Monita Bowman (whose idea this is)  or Class Scheduler Barbara Gottesma.
