Every Wednesday evening from 5 pm – 9 pm Palette & Paper hosts Open Studio. It is a great time to work on your project(s) and connect with other crafty people.  During tomorrow evening’s Open Studio, one of our instructors will be offering a make & take opportunity for everyone that is interested. Certified Copic Instructor, Martha Dafnos will be in the studio from 5:30-7:30 sharing a great patriotic image to color using colored pencils, watercolors or Copic Markers (please bring yours). Martha can offer pointers on coloring, blending and building color. Once you have completed your mini masterpiece, you may purchase a kit to turn your colored image into a card (only $1). As we approach Memorial Day, it is the perfect time to make this patriotic card. To reserve your card kit, please email Martha, and see you tomorrow evening.
