SUMMARY:CANCELED: Create an Art Inventory System in Excel
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled. \nInstructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Monday\, January 12\, 6:30-8:30pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; bring items listed below\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register by January 8) \nDo you have lots of art pieces stored at home\, but have to whip out the tape measure every time you submit to another show?

Then this workshop is for you! \nDesigned for those who know the basics of using Excel\, this workshop will teach you how to build your art inventory ‘system’ using an Excel file and a file folder holding your art photos. The goal is to create a system for keeping track of each art piece – size\, medium\, price\, and other characteristics – as well as where each art piece currently is\, where you’ve shown it before\, and any other pertinent information about your artwork. \nIn this class\, you will receive the instructor’s art inventory file ‘template\,’ which you will then edit to your specific needs with help from the instructor. By the end of the class\, you will have a working Excel inventory file to which you can add more artwork as you continue creating. \nRequired to bring to class: a laptop\, access to Excel\, your art inventory list and photos.  \nEverything you learn in this class will help you create Excel files for other uses\, and there are so many other uses! \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Playing with Resin Workshop (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is being rescheduled to February 8 due to the snowstorm. \nInstructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Sunday\, January 25\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register by January 21; This workshop is now sold out.) \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! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \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). \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

This class will NOT cover resin dyes or pigment powder usage\, but will touch on other possible additions to resin (such as glitter and alcohol inks). \nYou must already know how to use resin before taking this class. This is a lecture rather than a hands-on workshop\, so registrants will not be creating anything during the class. \n \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
