This month we met at Nancy Speer's studio. She invited us to play with clay. She provided bisqued fired tiles to glaze using a variety of colors. Ten members had a great time choosing glazes and guessing what they would look like fired. It's always fun experimenting with different media and techniques. Can't wait to see them fired!

January General Meeting

The program for January was "What's in Your Art Box?" hosted by Jean Mazur. Members were invited to share their favorite art supplies and any other art related things. It was really to see what everyone brought.

Jean brought a backpack. She came up with an idea of using a plastic shoe box in the bottom to keep the backpack upright that makes it easy to find things without rummaging around. Her 30L backpack is from Walmart from the Outdoor brand. 

Joy Staelens is the queen of recycling! She brought a plastic milk carton filled with all sorts of things she recycles for creating art along with her favorite Martha Stewart metallic paints, which were discounted. If you have some let her know! Her mediums of choice are glitter and Mod Podge!

We were delighted to have Becky Scott from Great Falls for our guest artist. Becky attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and received her Master’s Degree from the University of Massachusetts in Interior Design. She currently is an Aging in Place consultant and an aspiring printmaker. Throughout her life she has used collage and other mediums for self-expression. Becky uses collage to express moments and stories in her life. She shared one of her "Monster Books" 

Becky lead us in making collages using magazine photos in 45 minutes. This speedy project left little time to over think our creations. It was fun to do! It was fascinating to see what was done to tell our stories. Please see the Member Gallery page for photos from the meeting.

Our guest speaker this month was Dwayne McClellan. Dwayne is a photographer in Great Falls, Montana. His interests in photography started when his parents gave him his first camera, Kodak Instamatic, at 6 years old. Mostly self taught he enjoys all aspects of photography from film to digital. "Today I shot all of my pictures with my Nikon D610 with my Nikon D7000 as my backup camera. Each picture I take is a continuing journey in learning and perfecting techniques. Each session and shoot also allows me to further define my style and the look I hope to achieve with each shoot and session." Dwayne shared several photos including two night scenes, one of the Calumet Refinery and one of the Sundial at 9th Street and River Road. His work includes portraiture, local sports and events, and nature. His website is http://dwaynemccleanstudios.com
