Old Business:

Altered Book show and class at the library- Katie can teach the kids’ altered book class. Katie will talk to Candee about dates but would prefer the 2^nd or 3^rd week in July. Suzette can help deliver books to show at the library.

Glory Days- Gin will be the coordinator for the show with Suzette and Donna’s help. David and Mary will be out of town so we will use tables and easels for display at the Courthouse instead of the large display boards.

Fair Booth- Katie will chair the fair booth. We discussed having a theme and a simpler display than last year.

Barn Tour Art Contest- Discussed having a youth Jackson County-themed Art contest. We would have 4 age groups (K-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12) and work could be dropped off at Sarah’s. We will nail down the details at our April meeting so we can let students and teachers know about it before the end of the school year. The Barn Tour will be sometime in October.

New Business: We will try meeting on the 3^rd Monday of every month.

Show and Tell: Donna showed beaded earrings. David showed an assembled vulture made from flint knappers. Mary showed several quilt blocks from her State Bird quilt. Kathleen showed an in-progress pastel drawing of a calf. Katie brought some mandalas she made.

 

Program: Sarah gave information on polymer clay and techniques for working with it. Members had a chance to play with the clay.

Our next meeting will be Monday, April 16. The program next month will be working on Altered Books/book pages.
