Booth Art Academy Open House a Great Success!

This past Tuesday, February 9, Booth Art Academy hosted an Open House and Artist Demonstrations for those interested in learning more about BAA and the classes scheduled for the Spring semester. Approximately 45 people braced the cold and rainy weather to meet artists Licha Nicholson, who demonstrated techniques on glass fusing, Connie Haralson, who made and displayed her beautiful pottery, and Joe Head, who provided samples of his calligraphy for visitors. The first class offered this semester at BAA is Head's calligraphy class scheduled for February 20. Nicholson's glass fusing class will be offered February 23 and 25, and Haralson's pottery class will be offered four Tuesdays in March beginning on March 9. For more information about these classes or other upcoming classes including price, call 770-387-3849, or visit http://www.boothmuseum.org/artacademy/index.htm.
