The Art Barn:  Update for 2018

The Art Barn is a brand-new name for our stained-glass class location at Sanctuary.  Two years ago, Loki decided it was time to give the barn a “face lift”.  She loves her color Barney Purple and went with it for the project.  The barn is almost 100 years old and it took twice the amount of paint that the painters had estimated.  Actually, the painters told her the paint was now supporting the barn!   This made her feel better.  Everyone now comments on the purple barn.

Loki has been doing stained glass for about 40 + years now.  She had a studio called Kaleidoscope for almost 25 years.  She gave up commission “one-of-a-kind” work and went into fusing dishes, objects of art, and her favorite Nature’s Music wind chimes.  She creates on a daily basis.  She says to create is essential to her wholeness.  I think this is true for lots of people.

At the present time, the Art Barn is considering hosting other artists to do their crafts on the nights when the glass classes are not in progress. The idea is to share the space and keep the entire Art Barn alive and well and happy.  Workshops will do that we think.

In the meantime, Beginning and Continuing glass classes are taught by Loki on Tuesday and Thursday nights for seven weeks starting September 11. Spring classes will pick up in May 2019. The Art Barn and some of the land will be available for other events throughout the summer.

Fall is fast approaching. The Art Barn has been electrically updated to accommodate all the activities that are currently taking place.  We have three sessions of instruction currently running for September 2018 series.

If interested in using the space or taking a class in stained glass, give us a call.
