The Jaffrey Civic Center is proud to display the murals that were commissioned by DD Bean & Sons in 1992 to observe the 100 anniversary of the paper bookmatch. Karen Becker, renowned Vermont muralist, was retained to direct the creation of the murals. We are pleased to announce that Karen Becker has agreed to be at the opening and is hoping to visit with others who worked on the murals.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROJECT, PLEASE COME TO THE OPENING RECEPTION TO SHARE YOUR STORIES WITH KAREN.

The exhibition opening will begin at 4pm with a talk “Jaffrey Civic Center Through the Years” given by Sean Driscoll .

A reception will follow with live music. A silent auction piece commemorating Jaffrey Civic Center created by artist Lee Sawyer will also be a part of the evenings events.

Refreshments will be served. As always free and open to the public.

Making marks on paper and then learning how to use those papers in the artwork we make with our own style and voice.

This is not a recipe class. I will teach techniques that you can mix and match to help you develop your own unique expression.

Week 1: Learn what colors mean to you as an individual. You will be using color and combining the marks you defined for yourself to give expression to your thoughts and feelings

Week 2: Different papers different purpose. See how different papers affect your different mark making techniques. Learn how you can use paper to make marks.

Week 3: Layer what you know. See how layering affects the marks and colors. Learn about using different acrylic mediums in collaboration with your papers and paints.

Students will be asked to bring a selection of different brushes for acrylic painting. No brush purchase is required. Just bring different brushes you already own. All other materials provided by teacher.
