Everyone loves creating a piece of art to take home while socializing with new friends. Taught by volunteers, there is no cost to workshop participants. Materials are provided by the Coastal Arts League.
Meet in the Art room of the Sr. Center, 925 Main.
Etegami: Art for Everybody
Join Patricia Ryan Madson to learn the Japanese art of making postcards to send to your friends. Absolutely no drawing or art talent or experience is needed.
Patricia Ryan Madson
This simple strategy for making a homemade card can be done by anyone. Using postcards Patricia will guide you to make personal cards to put in the mail. Bring any pens or small watercolors you have and other material will be supplied.
Mixed Media Collage and Watercolor Painting
"When we age, we definitely keep active and, most of all, decide to have fun and explore new processes. No one wants to sit around just watching TV. So, many have come out to the classes even though they consider themselves beginners and have had no prior instruction. Most of the students will at least try something new and build on that creative spirit which is in all of us. So, sign up for a class and you will be amazed at the benefit to you." ~Anne Grauzlis
Anne Grauzlis joined the CAL Board as the on site liaison to the Senior Center. Anne can often be found hosting the Coastal Arts League Gallery at 300 Main Street, which is open daily from noon to 5:00 PM, (Closed Tuesday and Wednesday) 650-726-6335.

Pen & Ink with Gary Frink
"Gary is really a great teacher. He’s genuine and funny and skilled. He is also a generous person. He often provides pens and paper to the participants to practice at home. He says he gets materials from friends who know his style." ~Stephanie Lyons Our very successful art program at the Senior Center is beginning a new season. Several people mentioned that our summer break left them wondering what to do on Fridays. It is a highlight of the week for some. Therefore, good people, we are asking you to review your commitments and add your name to the list of wonderful teachers who give an hour or two on Fridays. We have had lessons on collage, pen and ink drawing, printmaking, charcoal, oil pastel, and perspective. Can you think of something you would like to teach or repeat with a new twist? This is a volunteer opportunity which would not take a lot of your time but would be appreciated by the Senior community. ~Anne Grauzlis
