Canvas Stretching Party Wednesday, February 25 ( 7PM - 9:30PM Room CC-102 )
Wednesday on the first floor of the Community Center; we went over how to prepare and gesso your own canvas. We provided muslin, a light weight canvas material, light weight stretcher strips, and primer. The canvas is yours to have compliments of the Visual Arts Ministry and those who contributed. The Oswalts (pioneers in their own Artistic Adventures) donated the stretcher strips and Danny Tuss from CCAD Exhibitions donated 16x12 feet unprimed muslin and 12x15 feet primed muslin. 
Kate Purnell and Deborah Correa taught how to stretch and prepare canvas and we gave out a handful of finished canvas.

Knowing how to prepare your own canvas is very useful for an artist. The end result is often cheaper, better quality, and can be made to better suit your purpose. 
We have plenty of canvas left from this last canvas party and will be having canvas parties periodically. Email us for more information on the next party. If you are interested in donating materials; partner with us in distributing them through our classes, workshops and parties!
