WILLOW ON STATE: ART FOR HUMAN BEINGS

Willow on State is an eclectic place, to make an understatement.  Why, it's an art gallery, used book store, new and used vinyl record store, and even contains handmade jewelry and pottery by local artists.  It's a nice place to walk through, listen to a few tunes on the record player, and admire an extensive and varied collection of one-of-a-kind original art, including wall-hanging art and sculpture.  Drop by and say hello.

Learning Drawing and Painting, Every Tuesday
5:30 - 7:00ish

Picture
Learn how to see! Many people are intimidated when drawing the face. In this workshop, you’ll learn the critical steps to drawing the human face. This instruction can then be applied to animals and other kinds of figures. Materials are supplied, but you may bring your own sketchbook and pencils. Drawing will be done from life not from a photograph.  $20 per session.

Visit the "Events and Workshops" page for more information on our upcoming classes!
