Play Time
Tuesday, May 13th @ 4:30 pm
Ever since our Mental Health Party on April 15th, people have been asking us when we're going to do it again. Your answer is above.
Join us here at the store at 4:30 on the 13th for more creative adventures.
As before, we'll have snacks and wine and something non-alcoholic for those who have given the chauffeur the night off.
Again, we'll provide all the tools and materials to play with, and offer ideas for things you might not have done before. No experience necessary.
There will be no charge for the event but we're happy to accept donations to help cover the expenses.
And if you haven't done so already, you'll get to meet our new store cat, Ivory Black.

"Life is a canvas. Throw all the paint on it that you can."
Danny Kaye
The ten of us who partied yesterday evening had a great time playing with art supplies, making chapbooks and cards. We even had a Zen Tangle session for the fun of it. A little wine, some snacks, and hanging out with other creatives made for a terrific evening. Attendees made new connections and shared ideas with each other, experimenting with materials they'd never used before. There was a lot of laughter.
In fact, everyone wanted to know when we'll do it again, so that's in the plan and we'll let you know when we get it set up.

You're invited, come rain or shine, to Salt Bay Art Supply's free Mental Health Break this evening at 4:30 pm. Come to the store for a glass of wine, some snacks, and a chance to escape for a while into a creative space.
We'll provide materials to play with watercolors, make a chapbook, try Zen Tangles, water soluble oil pastels, stencils and stamps and inks . . .
There will be demonstrations if you want, or you can venture out on your own.
While there is no charge for the event, we'll happily take a donation toward the cost.

"ORIGAMI" BOOK WORKSHOP
Saturday, February 22nd, 2–4pm
The Studio in Damariscotta
We're having a workshop teaching how to make and "origami" book. This is a fun folding trick (that also uses glue) that lets you make a square book that you can decorate or use as a scrapbook or fill with your favorite sayings or meditations or whatever you like. We'll use fun papers, and drawing supplies and come up with ideas to fill your book.
We will make a small book (three sections) but once you get the folding trick down, you can add more pages. We will show you how to make covers for the book that you can also decorate any way you like.
This is just plain fun!
All materials will be supplied so you can just come and play.
$25 per person 12 and up
Pre-registration is required, so drop by the store to register. Or call 563-8377 to register over the phone.

As we promised ages ago, we've taken advantage of our annual trade show in New Orleans and ordered new watercolor brushes. What??!! New brushes??!! As if we didn't have enough already. But these are special. Just introduced to us at this trade show, we got to try them out and fell in love. For two reasons: quality and price. Come on in and check them out. So far, people who have tried one come back for more.
