Craft classes for term three

Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre will begin its term three classes from July 27.

Classes in patchwork, quilting, pottery, folk art, silk dyeing, oils and acrylics, pastels and drawings, children's art and watercolour painting will be available.

Vice president Ms Dorothy Mulholland said there were a good quantity and variety of classes on offer for lovers of arts and crafts over the next few months.

"Term three is about to start and classes are filling quickly," Ms Mulholland said.

"Our Christmas exhibition and sale will be held on November 28 and 29, at the Peninsula Community Centre.

"This is always a fun time where students are invited to participate in this exhibition by making saleable items.

"It is a great way to make some pocket money, meet people and to help us promote our wonderful centre."

Patchwork and quilting classes will be available two days per week with tutor Margaret O'Connell while Annette Poole will conduct two pottery classes in term three.

Folk art classes will be available once a week at the centre under the instruction of Joy Panton and Sue Saunders will conduct two silk dyeing lessons on Tuesdays.

Wednesdays will see tutor Ann Parker in charge of an oils and acrylics class as well as a pastels and drawing lesson in the afternoon.

Children's art lessons will be available on Thursday afternoons with Sandra Williams and two sessions of children's pottery will take place on Saturday with Anniss Seymour.

Local artist and centre tutor Judith Hoste will teach watercolour painting every Friday throughout term three from 10am while Marcelle Clelland will conduct silvercraft classes on Saturday afternoons.
