Having fun with wax and watercolor is what art instructor Velera Adams has in mind for her “Watercolor Batik Class” Saturday, April 9, 1 to 5 p.m., at Carriage Factory Art Gallery, 128 E. Sixth St. The class is ideal for both adults and children age 10 and older, said Adams.
Adams is a retired elementary school teacher, who now enjoys designing and painting in watercolor and oil. In addition to winning blue ribbons and “best of shows” at the Kansas State Fair she has won first place in two juried shows.
Adams has taught at a variety of seminars and art functions in central Kansas and had an original Christmas ornament hanging in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. A variety of her work is on display at the Carriage Factory Art Gallery.
Cost for the watercolor batik class is $35 per person.
Reservations for the class are required. A supply list for participants is available by calling the gallery at 316-284-2749.
