Arty Hour | Paint Your Pet & Sip (June 16)
Arteasy's Arty-Hour sessions are for adults ages 21 and up!
For a brand new addition to our Arty Hour series, we took inspiration from social media - and will be hosting a pop art pet painting class!! Join us and create a funky, colorful, bright rendition of your best pal, led by our very artistic studio manager, Elise! Celebrate your pet or favorite animal among fellow pet lovers, while sipping on a complimentary cocktail (beer or wine available if preferred).
We will provide frames and painting materials, all you have to do is bring a print out of your pet of choice!
Print a 8”x10” photo of your pet, a headshot style will work best! The easier you can see the details of your pet’s face, the better. If computers and printing aren’t your thing, send us your photo no later than Monday, June 12, and we can print it for you. Black & White ink is fine!
Pysanky & Potions [SOLD OUT]
Back by popular demand, Cheverly resident Casey Kneipp will be in the studio for one night only, sharing the intricate art of Pysanky (Ukrainian egg decorating)! Join us for a night of creative egg art, ‘Spring Fling’ cocktails, and good company.
Class will be from 7pm - 9:30pm.
The myth of Pysanky in Ukrainian folk art - The fate of the world depends upon the pysanka. As long as the egg decorating custom continues, the world will exist. If, for any reason, this custom is abandoned, evil––in the shape of a horrible serpent who is forever chained to a cliff–– will overrun the world. Each year the serpent sends out his minions to see how many pysanky have been created. If the number is low the serpent's chains are loosened and he is free to wander the earth causing havoc and destruction. If, on the other hand, the number of pysanky has increased, the chains are tightened and good triumphs over evil for yet another year.
