Have you ever wanted to learn how to create a picture using materials found directly off the beach? Come join local guest artist Kerry Consentino- Vilorio owner of The Orange Jellyfish, who creates beautiful custom pebble art and sea glass designs. During this two-hour class, we will each create our own custom pebble art picture using various styles of beach sea glass, pottery, stones, driftwood and shells directly hand picked off local New England beaches. Each design will be glued on to cardstock and enclosed within an 8x8 glass frame. This class will allow for a great deal of autonomy, allowing for one to work within a relaxed environment while working at their own pace. Feel free to bring any special beach, shells, stones or sea glass from home that you may want to incorporate within your picture. While the frame color for all will be black lacquer, the cardstock colors available for selection will be white, light crème, or light blue. This class is truly a wonderful opportunity to create a sentimental piece for yourself or if wanting to gift it to someone special.
Please BYO lunch and check in at the cafeteria immediately after school for a 30 min lunch period.
