Paint 'n Party for Seniors

Paint 'n Party for Seniors

Long time local artist and teacher, Cathy Wake Rowley will be coming to the Copeland Center on July 14 from to bring to our seniors a "Paint 'n Party" 11:30 am - 2:30 pm.   Cathy provides supplies needed including the canvas, an apron, paint and brushes, and the instruction to be able to enjoy creating their acrylic painting.  Although she is called upon to instruct at numerous places from home parties to recently U of M- Dearborn, she has mostly been teaching smaller sized groups of about 15-20 people at her business Frame World in Dearborn Heights.   It'll be nice to have her teaching here in Wyandotte.  Those who may wish to sign up could be folks who enjoy drawing or painting already, but the real beauty is introducing people who would like to try a new hobby or have said "I always wanted to try to learn to paint...I can only draw stick figures".  The 3 hrs. goes by fast and each person goes home with their finished acrylic painting that they'll be proud to hang.  Picture used as a sample will be a sunrise over Detroit River from the Bishop Park view.  "Sample" is used as a guide only as Cathy walks everyone through the steps because one finds that everyone has their own unique touch, strokes or mixture of color.   Light snacks will be provided with plenty of fun.  Cost of $30 is specially discounted for this opportunity but spaces are limited, so sign up now.  The Copeland Center office (phone # 734-324-7275) is open Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 3:00 pm except Thursday until 2:00 pm.   So come try something new!  You may just become a regular participant once you find you like it.
