SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED - Playing with Resin Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been rescheduled to Sunday\, August 21 from 6-9pm. \nInstructor: Tracy WilkersonDate/Time: Sunday\, June 12\, 2022 from 6-9pmCost: $40 for Del Ray Artisans Members and $50 for non-members\, plus a $10 supply feeClass size: 6-12 participants(Register by June 9) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:Color School Kickoffs Summer with Live Music
DESCRIPTION:The band Color School performs outdoors in Del Ray Artisans gardens from 3-5pm on the closing day (Saturday\, May 28) of the Drips\, Lines\, Splatters\, and Splash: A Celebration of the Washington Color School art exhibit to kickoff summer and the start of our Creative Summer Programs (June 1–August 31). \nMost of the members of the local band Color School are themselves DC-area natives. Their name was the suggestion of the band’s bass player\, photographer Charles Steck\, who had taken pictures of all the original Washington School artists. Steck had suggested the name ten years ago. The band liked the idea of being a DC-based band not using a name with a political bent. As drummer Bill Kalish notes\, “Art and music bump up against each other in all kinds of great ways and we thought that all the bright colors and bold graphics of the Color School fit our Pop band.” \nThese days\, however\, the Color School sound has moved in more of a funk direction. Color School recently dropped their new single\, Gateau. Living on Music’s Steve Houk will be in conversation with Bill Kalish and other members of the Color School band to chat about Gateau and promote their DRA gallery gig. Tune in @ youtu.be/g6q879aNEYw \nCome on over to Del Ray Artisans and check out the local live music bumping into some ARTastic channeling of the Washington Color School and Color Field movements. DC-area superstar artist\, student of the Color School\, and exhibit juror Barbara Januszkiewicz will be dropping by to meet and greet artists\, patrons\, and Color School band fans alike. \nCheck out our Creative Summer Programs (June 1–August 31) now to see the upcoming workshops and events.

DESCRIPTION:Instructor: JD KleopferDate: Friday\, June 25 from 6:30-7:30pm\nClass size: 1-100 participants\n(Register by 5pm on June 25) \nWho doesn’t love turtles? Unlike their reptilian cousins (snakes\, crocodilians and lizards)\, most everyone finds turtles to be appealing. Whether it’s the story of the tortoise and the hare or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\, we have appreciated and revered turtles in folklore\, culture and religion. Whatever the reason may be as to why we view turtles with such affection and reverence\, they will always hold a high level of fascination and enjoyment for us. \nGlobally\, there are over 320 species of turtle with 22 species inhabiting Virginia. Except for Antarctica and its surrounding waters\, turtles inhabit every continent and ocean\, from arid deserts to tropical jungles and across the vast oceans. \nJD Kleopfer\, the State Herpetologist of Virginia\, will discuss the various species of turtle inhabiting Virginia and their general ecology and conservation. \nThis presentation is brought to you by the Virginia Herpetological Society (VHS) and Del Ray Artisans\, both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations\, in conjunction with The Naked and the Newt art exhibit. \nThe presentation is FREE; donations are appreciated. You may donate via the registration page (select “Register” and choose donation amount). \nThis presentation will be online through the Zoom platform. Registered participants will be sent the connection information via email two days before the presentation and again one hour before the presentation. You may attend on a computer\, tablet\, or smartphone. \nRegister Now \n.\n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
