I was sitting around a camp fire last summer with my three siblings (and other assorted relatives and friends), when my brother sung a song he had learned at Boy Scout camp. My other brother, a very good singer, rose to the challenge and sung a song he had learned at camp. My younger sister, also a good singer, then sung a song she had learned at some, unknown to me, camp. When it was my turn, I sang (very badly because my husband says I sing in the key of L), a song I learned on a family car trip, “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” I never went to camp.
So when Pix Basso described the Kalama Art Event (September 11 from 9-5) as “Day Camp for Adults,” I realized that I can finally go to camp and not get homesick.
Sponsored by For the Love of Art, a local group of visual artists, and the Kalama Chamber of Commerce, artists will be showing and selling original arts and crafts in businesses and on the streets of Main Street. But artists will also be teaching arts and crafts classes.
The five adult workshops are:
• Ceramic Tile Building and Decorating-Danni Pederson, instructor
• Fused Glass Ornament or Pendant-Linda Corder, instructor
• Found Objects Garden Art-Wind Chime-Shirley Lowman, instructor
• Wire Wrapping-Barbara Lancaster, instructor
• Scrapbook Page Making, Dixie Loomis, instructor
Coco Edmunds will teach three Children’s Workshop Copper & Steel for children ages 5-12.
Workshops will be entry level with all or most of the supplies provided. A small fee will be charged for each class. The workshops will be repeated throughout the day. Registration will be on the day of the class and class sizes are limited, so early registration is recommended. Workshop tickets will be for sale at the Kalama Art Event booth in the VFW Parking lot (220 Block of Main Street) starting at 8am.
The committee is still looking for artists. An application is available on the For the Love of Art website, http://www.ftloa.org/. The deadline is August 30.For information about the event, contact Pix Basso at 360-673-4696 or Linda Corder at 360-673-5179 (res) or 360-423-67560 (bus).
