I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it\, but during my working career making time for art seemed a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color\, design\, and texture\, it was a great stress-reliever\, an outlet for my creativity\, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs\, I was constantly admiring the work created by the glass artists there\, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right\, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul\, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning\, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it! \n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancellation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.

The unpredictability of these special shows makes them all the more precious. This spring\, though the rains came late\, may still treat us to a variety of gorgeous blooms.  Flowers truly enchant us\, making us happy and touching our souls\, but their charms\, sweet fragrances\, beautiful colors and intriguing shapes are meant for bees\, butterflies\, insects and birds. Flowers and their pollinators have co evolved together in a rich interplay of strategies\, tactics and syndromes to aid the survival and reproduction of each other\, contributing to each other’s success. Often\, we think of flowers as passive in this pollination endeavor\, yet they are actively and deftly luring and managing their pollinators. \nCome join us for an enchanting lecture and PowerPoint show with Pinau Merlin to discover the mysterious and intricate natural history of some of our favorite desert wildflowers and their pollinators. You won’t look at flowers the same way again! \n$10 for members and $15 for the general public URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/wildflowers-and-their-pollinators-with-pinau-merlin CATEGORIES:Class/lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://localyardandgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/Flowers_Lecture_DCE-2SSwh9.tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20240306T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20240306T150000 DTSTAMP:20260404T053828 CREATED:20240213T133739Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240306T142128Z UID:9395-1709730000-1709737200@localyardandgarden.com SUMMARY:Botanical Art in Watercolor: Prickly Pear Florilegium Sketchbooks DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n$40 Non-Member / $32 Member \n\nArt materials are not included\, see materials list below class description \n\n\nThis class is a great introduction to watercolor techniques for botanical art.

I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it\, but during my working career making time for art seemed a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color\, design\, and texture\, it was a great stress-reliever\, an outlet for my creativity\, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs\, I was constantly admiring the work created by the glass artists there\, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right\, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul\, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning\, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancellation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class. A $10 cancellation fee will be applied to all refunds.
