Carnelian is one of my favorite birthstones and one of the stones represented for the month of August. I stopped by Vintagesthis weekend and couldn’t resist all the bright colored bangles and glass beaded necklaces. Definately, stop by and I’ll bet you’ll think of a few dresses that are missing that perfect piece.

Antiques & Collectibles: Some Class Details
The class will be organized around antiques and vintage collections … some popular, others a little bit more obscure, but just as interesting. In each class session we will discuss the history and timeline of the topic, to give us an understanding of styles and materials, as well as a basis to be able to decipher the age and provenance of an antique. We will bring some samples of the antiques and collectibles into class (you are encouraged to bring in your own examples as well) and we will also view examples of the works of the important designers and artists who have created the masterworks. Each class will end with a chance for all attendees to show and tell their own antiques and collections.

NEXT FREE DEMO:
The next free demo is Saturday, July 23 featuring Winsor & Newton Watercolors. The presenter will be Steve Gallisdorfer. Steve is the manufacturer representative for Winsor & Newton products, but don’t be fooled, he has a degree in Chemistry. If you like watercolors and want to learn about mediums, sources of pigments, granulating colors, lightfastness, etc., this demo will be for you. This one looks like the one for me:)
AUGUST FREE DEMOS:
Sat., August 6 – Art Graham, paint maker for M.Graham & Co., will be at the store from Oregon doing a Q&A session from 1-3 p.m. just for Lenz Arts. Art once worked for Grumbacher before starting M.Graham with his wife Diana and is very knowledgable. (The “M” in M.Graham comes from his wife’s maiden name.) Lenz has carried the M.Graham oils for years and recently added their watercolor, gouache, and acrylic lines. If you have technical questions about any aspect of paints, Art will be happy to answer them. http://mgraham.com/ 
Sat., August 20 – Christine Hanlon will be here demonstrating Winsor & Newton Oils, talking about pigments, color mixing, grounds, mediums, varnishes.
