Primo Art Spa

Quote of the Day: 

  • May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.--Neil Gaiman
I think I used that one last year, but it's worth repeating, especially as my sister Joy and I are embarking on a new adventure. We've formed the Primo Art Spa to support artists in the area. For our first event, we'll be offering a class at the local pottery place, Glaze 2 Amaze.  Here's the blurb.


Paint to Music at Glaze 2 Amaze, Thursday, January 24 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Joy Ciaffoni and Mary Aalgaard, who have started the Primo Art Spa to assist artists in the area, will be performing live music while you paint a plate and find out what kind of music brings out your red, blue, lemon, or your spice. Using a plate as a palate, you will create art that serves up memory, emotion, and delicious inspiration. You can use it as a plate for special occasions, a gift, or a memory piece for someone you love. Glaze 2 Amaze is located at 706 Laurel Street in Brainerd. Email primoartspa@gmail.com for reservations for this special event. Cost is $25.

 
If you're in the area, I hope you can join us! Joy and I make a good team. A couple years ago, we did a show called "Sisters." Here's one of my favorite photos from that event.

We were singing the song "Sisters."
 
Join us for an inspirational class if you can, or take a class wherever you live, or start your own...and
 
Go. Create. Inspire!
 
Journaling Prompt: Have you ever taught an art or writing class, or started something new?

Mary, this sounds like great fun. And what a super idea. I love how you're branching out. I'm also in the process of reaching out in different directions, after I return to basics and simplify things a bit. Yes, that sermon came along at just the right time. The long drive back through Mississippi provided time, not only for quality chatting time with hub, but to think as the state's beautiful hills rolled by. Also, it was on the news Minnesota has the highest influenza toll in the country. I hope you and yours are well.

Mary, I would LOVE to be in the area for that class :) You are so creative and inspiring. Thank you!

Best of luck to the Art Spa. What a wonderful idea!! I think every city should take care of its artists. Oh, and the Gaiman quote is splendid. Think I'll copy that one down!

Cheers!
Jen

What an interesting idea. I found you through the Glaze to Amaze email and while I'm not able to attend the event, I'm glad I've found your blog and look forward to reading more.

Best of luck!
