Third Annual Hollywood Fairy House Tour
Did you know the Hollywood district has become a hotbed of Fairy homebuilding? It's true!
Tiny Fairy dwellings are popping up all over the neighborhood these days, and we'll take you on a guided tour, pointing out some of the most beautiful and secret architecture you've ever seen!
You'll get a cool map on that marks the locations of these fantastical homes so you can come back for a visit with your friends.
We'll start out at Camp Cactus Studio, and walk around the neighborhood, ending up back at Camp Cactus for a snack.
The tour is open to ages 6 and up, but you must be able to walk a fair distance (about a mile in all).
Children under 6 are free with an accompanying (paying) adult.

This 3-hour class is open to everyone ages 7-100!

Painting Abstract Expressionism:
Jackson Pollock
Modern artist Jackson Pollock was a pioneer in the form of art known as abstract expressionism, and was known for his "drip and splash" style of painting. This style of action painting is uniquely suited to stirring up fun and creativity. In this class, we'll paint a t-shirt in the Pollock style (and make a heck of a happy mess, too!)
All materials and t-shirt included.
Come prepared to get messy.
Thursday, August 21st 1 - 3 pm cost: $30
Ages 5- adult • Class size is limited • Preregistration required by Thursday, Aug 14

I love Aboriginal Art and I have a lot of Aboriginal paintings at my home but I can’t make such paintings. I would love painting Aboriginal Art!! Could you please tell me when the classes for Aboriginal Art will be opened?
ReplyDeleteAboriginal Artists have actually been selling their unusual artwork since before the 1930's, not yet known to the international market, Aboriginal Art remained contained within Australia.
ReplyDeleteCheck back again soon…I will be offering the Aboriginal Art class again this spring!
