Do you like a little shine in your artwork? If so, this is the workshop for you! This workshop will introduce participants to the fun of using metallic leaf in their artwork. You will learn the “how-to(s)” of surface preparation, application of metallic leaf, and use of the foil as a full background and as an accent for artwork. Bettie Sperty, an accomplished artist, will demonstrate the process of foil leafing and then guide you in creating your own project. This workshop will be held at the Chinn Park Library. Participation is free, but spots are limited. Register to attend Prince William Art Society events at: https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/register.

Keep an eye open for the upcoming news, events, and workshops you might want to take on the Prince William Art Society website at https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com. Many of the workshops have limited seating - but only sign up if you really want to take it. 

We do allow registration to continue after the cap has been hit. People can be wait-listed and we have filled in with those people when we are notified that a signup could not attend. But what a shame it is when someone just does not show up!
