Necklace beading class

Popular artist/instructor Linda Farber’s newest class offering is the Sunflower Necklace Beading Class at the Plateau Creative Arts Center (PCAC).

This simple little sunflower necklace just shouts “Spring.”  What a fun way to celebrate the return of warmer and sunnier weather.  The necklace is made with green peridot chips, green leaves, and yellow dagger beads.  It’s a project that anyone, beginner or advanced, can handle.

The Sunflower Necklace Beading Class is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, from 9:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.  The cost of the class is $17 for members of the Art Guild or $22 for non-members.

A portion of Whitehurst’s photos that will be on display.

At the beginning of class, a project materials kit will be provided by the instructor for a cost of $12 – $20, depending on the cost of materials at time of purchase.

Students are asked to bring a pair of small sharp scissors, a size 10 or 12 beading needle, and 6 or 8 pound Fire Line, if they have them.  If not, they will be provided.

Stop by the Plateau Creative Arts Center to see a sample of the Sunflower Necklace and register for the class. The PCAC is located at 451 Lakeview Drive (off Peavine Road) in Fairfield Glade.  For more information or to enroll and pay by credit card, please call 931-707-7249.

Campaign started

The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade proposes to make their new Sculpture Garden Trail handicap-accessible.  The trail is located behind the Plateau Creative Arts Center building and connects with paved Community Club trails in the area.  Volunteers cleared the trail last summer.  The next and final step is to pave the trail.

Donations are needed to complete this project.  The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade is a 501 ©(3) organization.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help complete the paving of this trail for all residents and guests who would otherwise not be able to access this trail.  Mail your check contribution payable to The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, 451 Lakeview Drive, Fairfield Glade, Tn.  38558.

Visit the Art Guild’s Sculpture Garden Trail and imagine the possibilities of more sculptures in the future.  You won’t want to miss the Art Guild’s own resident raccoons carved in a tree stump at the start of the trail.
