Since last December the thoughts of owning this 1920's bungalow
on the edge of town has taunted and teased us with it's
location, charm, innocence and opportunity.
location, charm, innocence and opportunity.
Throughout the process of 6 months ,the ideas and visions of setting up
our new Random Arts was twirling around in our heads 24/7
and finally, this past June 4th, it became a reality... and the work set in.
As winter became spring and spring flung us into summer,
we've mastered the art of tuckpointing, venetian plastering, carpentry,
radiator heat systems, crawl space integrity, flooring,
landscaping, insulation, drywall,
painting and priming and everything in between.
The rewards of all of this are coming to an end/beginning as the
opening of Random Arts is right around the corner.
Although there are a few things left undone we feel that we
are close enough to say " WELCOME" to all of you.
As we get started,
the plans are to be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10-5
beginning Thursday, Sept. 22nd at 10 am
(although this is a picture from the spring, the house
still looks the same. You can't miss it as you drive
into Saluda from I-26. Its less than a mile on your left
before you get to the T in the road.)
Workshops are being scheduled for both this year and into 2012.
Friday, Sept. 30th RANDOM STROKES with Catherine Langsdorf
For most creative people, doodling is something they have done all their lives. It is a release. A pen and a piece of paper can lead to amazing things. It can travel easily with you and put you into an artistic zone. Join us for a day of creative play and learning. Many of the doodlings will be based on patterns that when added together create intricate pieces. Learn about the art of Zentangle®, the method created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. This relaxing pen and ink artform can help even the most hesitant person find a creative outlet. Great for journaling.
Catherine Langsdorf, currently lives in the beautiful mountains of Western, NC. Catherine has been studying calligraphy for over 20 years and has been teaching for 15 of those years. Catherine enjoys many forms of lettering - from the formal copperplate to the casual brush letters. Catherine also dabbles in the altered arts, bookmaking and watercolor painting. Her work can be viewed on her two blogs:
