February 3 - Closing Reception at Art Center Waco

The exhibit closing Friday, Feb 3, has works by some 40 area artists. The reception is a great opportunity to see what the local art scene looks like, and to meet many of the artists represented. It's free, and there are refreshments. Time is 6 to 9, with awards at 7.

February 12 - Karen Groman - Felting As Art

Karen Groman won't just be telling us about felting, or even just demonstrating it. She intends to help us create our own felt “paintings.” She plans to provide all of the materials except soap, should you want to felt a bar of soap. The idea is to arrange wool roving into an artistic design, not necessarily a representational one. Then it will be soaked in very hot water for a while, blotted dry with a towel, and, finally, ironed flat so that it can be framed. An example is shown at the right. Come join the fun at our usual time and place, Sunday, February 12, at the Waco Charter School, 615 N 25^th Street. Come at 1:30 for refreshments and conversation. The meeting begins at 2, with the presentation shortly thereafter. Bring art for show and tell, and bring friends. The first visit is free.
