SUMMARY:Playing with Resin
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Playing with ResinInstructor: Tracy Wilkerson\nDate/Time: Sunday\, October 17 from 6-9pmCost: $40 for Del Ray Artisans Members and $50 for non-members\, plus a $10 supply fee\nClass size: 6-10 participants\n(Register by October 14; do not drop-in) \nCome play with resin in a safe environment – learn 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!  This 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. \nChildren can take this class but they should be able to interact with and respect others\, and follow directions – resin can be super messy (and will destroy clothing) if not handled correctly.  \nFace masks must be worn by all while visiting the gallery. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:Storytelling in Fabric: Artist Talk by Sheryl Sims

Freed from the restrictions of traditional quilting\, Sheryl improvised her own applique style to create striking art quilts. Join us online as Sheryl shares her quilts and the stories behind them. \nThe Storytelling in Fabric artist talk is offered in conjunction with the Expanding the Common Ground: Voices of the Global Majority art exhibit and is offered for FREE. Donations to support Del Ray Artisans non-profit arts organization are very much appreciated. \nThe artist talk will be online through the Zoom platform.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Turtles of Virginia: Life History and Conservation (FREE)
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.
