IAA OFFERS “GLASS PAINTING WORKSHOP”

The Indiana Art Association (IAA) is offering a glass painting workshop with IAA member and artist Dayas Silvis. It will be held Saturday, June 29th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Artists Hand Gallery/Studio.

In this workshop, students will paint on glass using techniques that imitate stained glass. Necessary tools and materials will be discussed. All materials for the workshop are provided. However, students are advised to bring an apron or wear something that can get messy. With guidance, attendees will create two small projects to take home—a sun-catcher and a candle holder.  Silvis will instruct using simple floral and geometric designs that are easy for beginners. At the end of the class, Silvis will review more advanced items that can be created with the same materials.

Cost for the 6-hour workshop is $50 for IAA members; $60 for non-members. Students may sign-up and pay with PayPal on the IAA website at www.indianaartassociation.org   Or, sign-up by mailing a check with an attached note stating name(s), address, email, phone and class name. Mail to Indiana Art Association, PO Box 448, Indiana, PA  15701. Deadline to sign-up is June 20th. No refunds given after this date. Space is limited. Early registration is encouraged.

Silvis holds a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from Oakbridge Academy of Art and the Pittsburgh Art Institute. She is a freelance artist, focusing on portraits and story illustration. Currently employed with Creps United Publications as a layout designer and customer service representative, her artwork is on display at The Artists Hand Gallery as well as on her Facebook page at https://.www.facebook.com/.Dayas.M.Silvis.Art
