The Booth Museum is excited to announce the 2008 Art Academy Schedule open to both adults and children interested in learning more about various art techniques. Adult and children's classes are available and topics include, drawing and painting, fused glass techniques, woodburning, pottery, pysanky egg dyeing and much more.
Pyrography means “writing with fire” and is the traditional art of using a heated object to burn designs onto natural materials like wood or leather. Join artist Betty Tipton in this unique workshop and create beautiful projects in balsa wood. Learn the secrets of this ancient craft that had its beginnings in early Egyptian culture and is still practiced as a traditional folk art in many European countries today.
The class will be led by Betty Tipton, who graduated from the Atlanta Art Institute with a degree in advertising design and a minor in interior design. She married an army officer and traveled the world for many years while pursuing a career in interior design. After her husband retired and the couple settled in Georgia, Betty studied carving with Orchid Davis and learned both carving and wood burning techniques. The balance and harmony of nature are reflected in her beautiful carvings. Her work has been featured in the Borderlands gallery at the Booth Museum.
The woodburning class will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 1 – 2, from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. The fee for this class is $110 for Museum members and $150 for non-members. Materials needed include a quality wood burner with two tips (will be provided for a $90 additional fee).
To register for the woodburning class or any other classes being offered, call central scheduling at 770-607-3686. Continue checking back for features on other Art Academy classes and for more information on the 2008 Art Academy, click HERE.
