Open House recap and more classes

Hi Everyone!
We had fun at our Open House on Saturday. Lots of great energy from kids and adults. Puppets were playing and singing. Kids were creating and eating. And, everyone was getting moving on their artistic creations. 

Coming up next is a class on "The Artist's Way." It's a book by Julia Cameron that takes you through a 12 step program to a more creative and fulfilling life. Joy is leading it. Mary will also be there, and we hope several of you will join us. We're holding this class from 11:00-12:30, over lunch hour, so we can eat together and work towards a more creative life. Cost is $120 which does not include the book. You can find it at any bookstore or online.

Master Class Music Workshop will be on Saturday, October 26, 2013, starting at 2:00. This is for advanced student musicians and adults, voice or any instrument, who want a chance to perform and get some positive feedback. We'll talk about ways to enhance your performance and get emotion and color into it. Cost is $10. Email us primoartspa@gmail.com, or call Joy 503-975-9906 if you have questions or would like to attend.

We will be open most Saturdays for Art Saturday from 10-noon. Call, email, or check our facebook page if you want to make sure we're open. If you'd like to come at another time, just let us know. We'd love to host a group to do some art, music, or writing. We can email you a survey so we know what you're looking for.

And, now, a few photos from our Open House. You can see more on our facebook page.

Primo Art Spa Open House, October 12, 2013

Sisters Mary Aalgaard and Joy Ciaffoni have opened the Primo Art Spa in the Brainerd area. We offer a place where you can explore your art. 

Joy offers private lessons for voice, piano, and art, specializing in pottery, hand building fairy houses.

Mary offers private piano lessons, tutoring for writing and blogging, and classes on play writing and acting.

Millie and Willie invite you to the Primo Art Spa!

On Saturday, October 12, 2013, we are having an Open House at the Primo Art Spa in Brainerd, MN. It's open to any age. Each class is $20.00. We provide all supplies as well as instruction. Young children need to be accompanied by an adult.

12:00 pm: Sock Puppet Party. We'll be making our own sock puppets (Millie and Willie needs friends), and creating characters. We can also start to think about making a puppet show.

2:00 pm: Pottery, Build you own Fairy House, or other hand building project. Joy will be there to assist you. You'll need to plan to come back another day to glaze your house. The first step in pottery is to build your form. It's fired, and then you can paint, or glaze, it, and it's fired again. (Check out our recent posts to see the process in action.)

4:00 Journal Making and Writing

We'll begin each class with some music, and a skit by Millie and Willie at the start of the Sock Puppet Party. We will also offer refreshments.

Email us to reserve a spot for any, or all, of these classes primoartspa@gmail.com.

On Saturday, October 26, 2013, we will be conducting a Music Workshop called "The Power of Intention." Email us to get signed up for this workshop.

If you are looking for a voice, piano, or art teacher, let us know!

Thanks.
