Register by June 23, 2013 For A Free Clay Workshop to Begin Summer Creativity Series at the Dahmen Barn


 A free clay workshop kicks off the Summer Creativity Series at the Dahmen Barn on Friday, June 28, 2013 when resident artist Carole Galloway is offering two free sessions for kids at the Dahmen Barn. Carole’s specialty is working imaginatively and whimsically with FIMO clay. Her goal with these workshops is to spark the imagination of the students and have them successfully complete a finished product.

These workshops are scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and are for children aged 6 to 12.

Register by June 23 by calling 509-229-3414 no later than June 23 or use the online registration form found on the top of the calendar page at
www.artisanbarn.org.

No walk-ins the day of the classes can be accommodated. Carole will have a tip jar out to cover her gas from Lenore, Idaho.

On July, 11, 2013 the 7th annual Summer Creativity Series for children begins on and goes for 6 consecutive Thursday afternoons.

Each day from 1:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., children aged 6 to 12 can enjoy two fun topics with a healthy snack in between.

The sessions are led by practicing artists from the Palouse region.

Thanks to a grant from the U S Bancorp Foundation, the Dahmen Barn is able to offer each afternoon for $12 per child this year. See the website calendar for what is being offered each afternoon.

Registrations must be received by the end of the day on Sunday preceding the class.

Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is a non-profit creativity center in Uniontown at 419 highway 195, in the big white Barn behind the famous iron wheel fence. The facility is fully handicap accessible and has no daily admission fee. It is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. Information:
