Michael Walsh, Executive Director

The Director’s BoxDear Friends of MAC,

As you may have noticed, PP&R is more than a little proud of the National Gold Medal Award recently earned. One reason our programs are considered excellent is due to the support that comes directly from our community members.

One recent example at MAC is extensive improvements to our ceramics and metals studios that wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of individual donors. In the coming weeks MACA will kick-off its annual capital campaign. On behalf of our board, I hope you’ll consider supporting our vital efforts with a donation comfortable to you.

Thanks!

FAMILY CLAY NIGHT

Fridays 6 to 8:30 pmJanuary 13 to March 16

No pre-registration Come as a family and play with clay! $10/hr per adult and child pair. $4/hr for each additional child. �� clay. Not for solo participants. This is an adult and child activity. Use �� "#��

These classes offer a process-oriented art experience. While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the creative process in an effort to elicit and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. Rather than simply following directions to construct prescribed art “products,” children in our classes learn to trust their own creative impulses while being supported by their parent or guardian. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be

messy. All materials are included. Cleanup is part of visual arts classes. Once classes are full, we cannot accept extra students.

Parent & Toddler Art Classes

Fascinated by shiny, sticky and gooey stuff? The joy of creative thinking and self-expression are brought to life using media such as paint, clay, collage and sculpture.Together construct projects that develop fine motor skills and enhance creative development.

The MAC Textile Arts Program offers classes for children and adults including basketry, felting, knitting, crochet,

compu-dobby, spinning and dyeing equipment, a wide selection of yarns for purchase, and an extensive library. During class, students have access to a weaving design software program called Fiberworks.

After the second week of class, currently registered weaving students may drop-in to the weaving studio at times other than during their registered class. A student may drop-in anytime the center is open except during certain posted times.

(See posting at MAC office and/or Textiles Studio.) When weaving during another instructor’s class, please refrain from asking the instructor for help, keeping your questions for the instructor in whose class you are registered.

Any time you weave other than in your registered class, please sign in and out in the drop-in book at the front office. Access to Fiberworks software is limited to the registered class time.
