Finding the Artist Within Us All\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon to be intimidated about starting new creative project. How do you make a Sailor\u2019s Valentine? What about supplies? It seems too complicated, so intricate, and expensive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I will remind everyone of that quiet walk along the beach and the excitement of finding that treasured sea shell. Do you have a box of shells in the closet? I believe it\u2019s begging to see the light of day once again. Creating a sailor\u2019s valentine is a time honored tradition of displaying sea shells and sea life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In conjunction with the Sarasota Shell Club Artisans I will be teaching a one day, four hour introductory class where students will solve the mystery surrounding this art form. Each student will complete a simple project taking into account the Barbados crafter\u2019s techniques from the 1800\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the example of what we will complete during class Friday, February 16, 2018. Our class fee is $100. It includes all materials needed. (Although one may wish to bring a snack.) The class will run 10-2pm at the Sarasota Club Artisans workshop located at the Bea Ridge Presbyterian Church in Sarasota Florida. <\/span><\/p>\n

My goal is to find that artist within us all through friendship, imagination, laughter and smiles. \u00a0If interested call Suzanne – 309-883-1590. Or, click back to the \u2018Treasures\u2019 section on this website and submit payment for your reservation. Class size is limited so advance registration is required. Once the Friday class is filled I will schedule a class for Saturday, February 17.<\/p>\n

We encourage everyone to attend their local shell show and enjoy the many shell art exhibits from hobbyists to professionals. Plus take a moment to learn details about those little treasures that wash up on our beaches from the specimen exhibits. More information about the upcoming Sarasota Shell Show February 9-11, 2018 can be found on their website www.sarasotashellclub.com<\/a><\/p>\n

I am also available to teach a more intense 3 day class. All materials will be included to complete a framed traditional sailor\u2019s valentine similar to the valentine shown below. This class is scheduled for February 19-21 and will run $600 per student. It will\u00a0also be\u00a0located at the Sarasota Shell Club Artisan\u2019s workshop at the Bea Ridge Presbyterian Church in Sarasota Florida. \u00a0Registration for the 3 day class deadline is January 15, 2018.<\/p>\n
