The Art Barn…
The Art Barn is a brand new name for our stained-glass class location at Sanctuary. Two years ago, Loki decided it was time to give the barn a “face lift”. She loves the color Barney Purple and went with it for the project. The barn is around 100 years old and it took twice the amount of paint that the painters had estimated. The painters told her the paint was actually now supporting the barn! This made her happy. Everyone now comments on the purple barn.
Loki has been doing stained glass for 40+ years now. She had a studio called Kaleidoscope for almost 25 years. She gave up commission one-of-a-kind work and went into fusing dishes, objects of art, and her favorite “Nature’s Music Wind Chimes”. She creates on a daily basis and says to create is essential to her wholeness. I think this is true for lots of people.
At the present time, the Art Barn is considering hosting other artists to do their crafts on the nights when the glass classes are not in progress. The idea is to share the space and keep the entire Art Barn alive and well and happy. We think workshops will do that.
In the meantime, Beginning and Continuing glass classes are taught by Loki on Tuesday and Thursday nights for seven weeks starting the first of May. Fall classes will pick up after the first of September. The Art Barn and the land will be available for other events throughout the summer.
