KAPPA TAU
WHAT IS KAPPA TAU
Kappa Tau is a daytime interest group for any MAA member who wants to both learn and socialize with other artists. We have monthly meetings with different activities, such as demonstrations, workshops, plein-air events, field trips, and speakers. Sometimes we also have a potluck or brown bag luncheon after the meeting. The meetings are hosted by a volunteer who chooses the location and time. The meetings can be at the Gallery, the host's home, or another venue. Kappa Tau does not charge any dues, although there may be a small fee to cover artistic materials. If you are interested in hosting a Kappa Tau meeting, please contact Becky Turton, the Kappa Tau coordinator, at becturton@comcast.net or leave a message at the Gallery.

JUNE 2023 KAPPA TAU
(for members only) Instructor - Susan Dotson Tuesday, June 20 from 10 am to Noon. Scherenschitte--Sissors Cutting It's pronounced Shear-en-schnit-tah. It's a very old craft from Germany that involves creating sometimes very intricate designs from paper--something like the snowflakes you used to create in elementary school art. Participants should bring: scissors (as small and fine as possible--like manicure or embroidery scissors--and/or an Exacto knife and a self-healing mat if you have one. I'll provide several possible designs and the paper. There should be time to complete a couple of designs. I'll also have examples and give you tips for mounting and framing them. |
