I took a class with a local artist and middle school art teacher, Megan Goza Rebourn, over at Lost Hiker Brewery Co., which is owned by Jennifer Croake Carey and Husband, Dan Carey.

This is my first attempted at papier-mâché. It’s still a long way from completion. It’s titled “new mommy”.

Attendance was mostly kids with parents, who created animal heads on card board backing. Megan is an exceptional teacher. I’m so pleased I attended because I see myself using this technic in order to build giant art installations for the Painted Artist’s Interactive Garden.

This class concludes Tuesday, February 19 (6 to 9pm) where we will paint our creations.

I hope to have mine completed by then.
