Coweta arts tidbits

I know a lot of you that I've met over the past year have been interested in finding a place to take Stained Glass Classes. Well, I've got exciting news on that front!!
My friend and fellow artist, Deborah Smith , has recently opened Images Gallery in the booming metropolis of Moreland. The Gallery showcases local artists, and is packed to the brim with the finest quality pottery, paintings, stained glass (of course!), photography, hand made soaps and other original creations. Moreland is conveniently located just south of downtown Newnan off Highway 29 with easy access to I-85. Images Gallery, located at 21 Main Street , Moreland, is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Deborah has also secured a building just two doors down from Images Gallery in Moreland, a small portion of which will be used for her photography studio. Deborah is generously providing the remainder of the Images Studio building to be used as classrooms for teaching art classes. There are currently classes forming for stained glass, mosaics, wire art jewelry, children's drawing, children's and adult watercolors, calligraphy and scherenschnitte. For more information on any of these classes, please call Images Gallery at 770-254-1555. You may also contact me (770-254-0349) for more information on the stained glass and mosaic classes.
Deborah has assigned an entire (enormous) classroom that will be dedicated to stained glass. My husband, Craig, and I have been working feverishly to install lighting (five 8-ft fluorescent fixtures hung on a 14 ft ceiling!) and build giant work tables in preparation for the first class on Saturday. I will be putting the finishing touches on the teaching studio over the course of the next few weeks, but I am already very pleased with how it is coming along. It will be a functional glass studio by Saturday!
In case you're interested, I'm attaching a copy of the Stained Glass Course descriptions and current calendar of stained glass classes. I have left Wednesday afternoons/evenings and Thursdays open, so that we can add more classes as the need arises. I am very interested to hear your feedback on what types of classes you would be interested in taking. I plan to offer Mosaic and Lead classes in the near future, and have had some interest in a Repair class. I will also be offering a Parent/Child Mosaic class soon. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other ideas.
If you haven't guessed already, I'm very excited about this new opportunity. Even if you can't take a class right now, do drop in for a visit. I look forward to seeing you at the Studio, or at an upcoming Art Show in the near future!
Warmest regards,
