We are thrilled to announce the first in a new series of classes available to our Robeson County Community! Botanical Illustrations in Watercolor and Ink are the subject of 2 separate classes, the first on Tuesday, February 25th and the second on Tuesday, April 22nd. Each class can be taken separately, but if you have completed the February class first you will have the opportunity to explore more advanced techniques when you attend the April class.

Jill Vicker is the instructor for both classes.

Introducing Our New Instructor - Jill Vickers
Jill joined the Art Guild just a few months ago and is the driving force behind a new series of classes. You may have met Jill around the Guild House recently - she has entered several pieces in the recent exhibitions and has original paintings, collages, and prints available for sale in the shop at the Guild House.

|
We are very lucky to have her as a new instructor! Jill holds a Master of Arts degree in Art Education and blends her expertise in art and design with a deep understanding of art's transformative power. Her work reflects her passion for storytelling, nostalgia, and emotional resonance - you will see that passion shared through the classes she has designed for the Art Guild! You may also want to catch her radio show "Artful Alchemy" on WDRB. Interesting conversations about the Arts and with creative artists.

Informal Painting Group
Special Announcement: No Painting Group Wednesday, February 19th!
The weather is just not cooperating! Icy temperatures and rain are not a good mix. Let's cross our fingers for next week. By the way, the Guild House is open tomorrow, Thursday, February 20th. Drop in if you are in Lumberton. The New Year Celebration Exhibit is great!
|
Art Supplies Swap/Share
Several members have brought in art supplies, books, magazines, whatever they don't need, to share with other members who may want to try something new. It's a good way to explore, perhaps on a Wednesday when you are taking time for yourself at the painting group.

Monthly Volunteer Lunch and Share
Volunteers need a place and time to share ideas and get answers to questions, so we set aside the last Thursday of each month to meet over lunch - that's Thursday, January 30 for the first one of 2025! It's Bring-our-Own-Lunch, but we do have coffee, tea, water, and hot chocolate available, and sometimes dessert appears. Join us when you can, and if you can't, email carole.blaney@robesonartguild.org with your questions and suggestions and we'll share them with the other volunteers and get you answers. That's also a good way to let us know if you want to help on any specific project.

Thanks for your interest and help! Let us know what you would like to do! See you soon.

Upcoming Quarterly Meetings
Mark your calendars now and plan to attend the upcoming Quarterly Members Meetings in 2025. These regular meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of the ending month each quarter: March 20, June 19, September 18, and December 18, 2025. They are a great way to learn what is happening at the Art Guild, what is planned, and to share your ideas!

A special Thank You for the volunteers who helped decorate for the holidays - and who help take them down! Thank you!
