CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

Meeting at Pioneer Village

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 2025
9am – 12noon

 …with Monica Coburn-Henderson

HELP!! …Grow the Winter Luncheon Inventory

Using bleach and colored sprays, artists will create black handle bags and zipper pouches, learning techniques to enhance with paint, metallic, gold foil, and even decoupage on fabric. Easy and fun for everyone! Opportunity for Summer Fun is here NOW…

Did you have fun using BLEACH to create the handle bag with Monica? She has even MORE ideas for bags and pouches for us to sell for $10 and under at the Winter Luncheon Boutique Table using the SAME techniques again but enhanced with additional ideas. Our designs will include paints and bling. Our Boutique table at Winter Luncheon will be stocked with these good sellers.

As a Christmas in August Artist you get first pick – shop on ‘painting day’ – get your Christmas shopping done early.    …Black handle bags sell for $10. Zipper pouches sell for $6.

Join your fellow painters for a fun 3-hour seminar with lunch to follow at Hog Bodies in North Fort Myers. Its a great location for lunch…
