End-of-Year Brunch

It's a bit early to be thinking about the next end-of-year brunch, maybe, but here are some photos from the brunch last June (photos by Cecilia Gamet).

Some of our radiant docents and school chairs!

Where are you going?

Did you know that the South Bay Hands on Art docent training workshops will be held at the Knob Hill Community Center this year? (Click the link for map, directions, and other details.) Don't go to Parras Middle School--that was last year's hotspot. We're back to Knob Hill, our longtime location, for 2010-2011. Be sure to alert your fellow docents so they aren't late for the first workshop!

Our 2010-11 Schedule of Projects

Calendars ready? Here are the workshop dates and project lineup for South Bay Hands on Art, 2010-2011. If you've been around a while as a docent or a chair, you might recognize some of the presenters' names, but two are new to us this year.

They'll eat this up!

Final project for the year, presented by Marianne Coble--a pop-up-book style page based on Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. Background, middle ground, foreground, scale, crosshatching... and some lovely water-soluble oil pastels. Let the wild rumpus begin!

Did you Chalk It Up?

A lot of folks did... hope you had a chance to stop by, at least--it was a beautiful day and a great location for the event.
