LUDLOW, Vt. — Fletcher Farm School for the Arts and Crafts has released its Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 class schedule, which is now available on its website www.fletcherfarm.org. Online registration is also available.
The school is in its 71st year of operation. As arts programs lose funding in the public education system, the importance of a vital resource like the School increases. We are supported solely by donations and class registration fees. Besides providing the basic skills in the arts and crafts taught there, instructors provide historical background and strive to link that background to contemporary culture. Students are invited to explore their creativity and are given support in this endeavor by nationally renowned instructors.
For example, this coming spring, the school is offering a weekend painting class with popular Vermont artist Peter Huntoon.
The fall season starts in September, with the following classes:
Sept. 8 – iPhone Photography: Tools, Tips, and Techniques with Penny Trick and Pat Moore
Sept. 21-23 – Steps to Outdoor Painting in Oils with Lynn VanNatta
Sept. 22-23 – Crisscross and Hang-up Baskets with Dona Nazarenko
Sept. 29-30 – Writing Flash with Debi Orton
Ludlow and Cavendish residents get a 50 percent discount on their first class each year, and members get $10 off their tuition for each class. To become a member, see www.fletcherfarm.org/Member.html.
Class and material fees vary, but advance registration is required for all classes. Most classes fill quickly, so please register early to ensure a place. Further information and online registration is available at www.fletcherfarm.org/.
