“Altered Wine Bottles” Workshop

with Charmaine

Saturday ~ August 22, 2015

10:00am – 3:00pm

Cost:  $40.00

Whether if you're cleaning up after a backyard barbeque with family and friends or from a special event, you probably have a few empty wine bottles left over.  Usually, most of us wouldn't give them a second thought and would just dispose of them in the trash or recycling bin and be done with them.  But if you were to take just a minute to look at them with the creative side of your brain, what would come to mind?  What would or could you create?  Where would you start?  If you take just a minute and think outside the box, those glistening, empty bottles are actually blank canvases, challenging your artistic talents.  Join Charmaine as she invites you to do just that!  Follow along as she guides you in the application of an ordinary household item to create a beautiful "faux" leather look you'll be able to repeat on any surface.  You'll also learn techniques in applying acrylic paints and highlights to create depth and dimension that you'll want to use in many of your future projects.  Seating is LIMITED TO ONLY 8 students, so call early to make your reservations because you won't want to miss a minute of this fun and creative Workshop!

       
Supplies to Bring:  Craft sheet or mat; scissors; and your favorite wet craft adhesive that DRIES CLEAR (The Ultimate works well) or hot glue gun.  If you'd like to customize your bottle with a favorite color acrylic paint or embellishment, please feel free to bring them along.  All other supplies and materials will be provided.
