Our meetings are held on the second Sunday of the month, from September through June.  At 1:30 we have refreshments and conversation, and the meeting is from 2:00 to 4:30 PM.  We usually meet at the Waco Charter School, 615 N 25th Street. Summer activities, if held, are usually of a different nature.  Check this site for any changes.

Bill Franklin is the ultimate Do-It-Yourselfer. He does carpentry, plumbing, wiring, cabinetry, metal work, concrete and masonry, and most anything else. Mostly he cons his wife, Judy, into doing the painting, although he did help with the exterior of their house. Both do art painting, and Bill does the matting and framing. DIY matting and framing is really pretty simple, once you know how. So come and find out how to save a bundle while giving your art that finished (and saleable) look. Bring an unmatted work on paper (drawing, watercolor, collage, etc), and you can mat it at the meeting. Bring an unframed 16x20 work on board or canvas, and you can try out a few frames to see what works best.

Ingrid will demonstrate how she works with cut paper on panel.  Her work is influenced by textiles, printmaking, and Asian screens and scrolls as well as two years of living in Asia. She plans to have everyone create a small piece to take home.
