SUMMARY:“Little Pine’s Halloween” Reading and Meet the Author: Nina Tisara
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the author herself! Meet mosaic artist/photographer and Alexandria legend Nina Tisara on Saturday\, October 21 from 5 to 7:30pm at Del Ray Artisans gallery. She will give a special reading of her story\, Little Pine’s Halloween\, at 6pm. \nTisara wrote the story for her children when they were young. It tells of a young pine tree who plans a Halloween party for his neighbor trees\, but worries that his pine needles won’t turn pretty colors like theirs. \nTisara recently unearthed a typed version of the story and shared it with her children. Her youngest\, Lynn\, suggested she turn it into a book. And she did! \nThe front and back covers\, designed by Sharmila Karamchandani and Steven Halperson\, show mosaics Tisara recently made to illustrate the story. The mosaics\, which show Little Pine and Mother Pine surrounded by colorful trees\, both received Honorable Mention recognition in Art League exhibitions. \nChildren (and adults) are encouraged to wear costumes. Del Ray Artisans gallery is at 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue in Alexandria. Meet the author 5-7:30pm\, reading at 6pm. \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery.

SUMMARY:Magical Creatures Workshop (Register by 10/13)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Kelsey Joyce\, kelseyjoyceart@gmail.com\nDate/Time: Saturday\, October 14 from 9am-12pm\nCost: $50 Del Ray Artisans member / $60 Non-member; plus a $15 Supply Fee\nClass size: 4-12 participants\n(Register by noon on October 13) \nLearn how to design and build a sculpture of an original imaginary creature in the style of Mexican folk art alebrijes. Alebrijes were created by Pedro Linares Lopez\, a Mexican cartoneria artisan who created Papier-mâché figurines that he coined alebrijes after imagining them in a fever dream. Alebrijes are creatures that consist of features that represent multiple creatures and the four elements of nature. Dragons are great alebrije because they have all four elements of nature: air represented in their wings\, fire represented in their flames\, land represented in their legs\, and water represented in their ability to swim. \nIn this workshop we will explore the cultural importance of Linares’ alebrijes and how they have become a tradition in Mexico. We will build our imaginary creatures with armature sculpting wire\, clay\, papier mache\, aluminum foil\, resin eyeballs\, acrylic paint\, glitter\, feathers\, and many more mixed media materials. We will work swiftly to get as much done as possible and will be utilizing hair dryers to help us dry our papier mache & artworks quickly. I look forward to you bringing your imagination to life! \nAll materials will be supplied to use during the workshop to create your creature. If you wish to also own one of Kelsey Joyce’s creations and paint it at home\, separate Imaginary Creature kits will be available for purchase directly from the instructor at the end of the workshop. \nThis workshop is held in conjunction with the Curses! Foiled Again! The art of swords and sorcery art exhibit. Face masks are recommended inside the gallery. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
