  • You don't have to be Swedish, it's fun for all! Held at 14 Cedar Street in Amesbury but you can also do a zoom. My philosophy is that art making should be fun! I want you to learn something and enjoy yourself so I have lots of ways to try this. Use my stencils, and ideas; or bring your own and paint free hand.

    This is a new class that I developed after my artist residency in Maine at Inn Along the Way. You will learn about the Swedish paintings called "bonad", or wall hanging, and you will start your own. 

    The class runs from 10 - 12pm on 9/23 and you will get a canvas, and a magnetic frame if you sign up by 9/18. You will pick your motif and trace it on day one, or freehand your piece. You can chose to finish it either the same day Saturday, 9/23 for $40 more, after lunch.

    Or come back the next day, Sunday 9/24, at the 14 Cedar St studio for an additional $40 from 10 - 12. You are also welcome to bring it home and finish it there. Please let me know which you prefer. (You can pay for that on 9/23.)

    I meet you where you are in your art practice whether you haven't picked up a brush in decades or are a practicing artist. Let's enjoy making art together in a calm and pretty place at 14 Cedar Street, the mill building, on the bottom floor.

    I look forward to sharing what I know with you ~ Tina

  • Inn Along the Way

    This is my first "bonad" showing the barn, the inn, the class that I taught, the flower stand where they receive donations, zinnia from the garden and the water well at Inn Along the Way at Damariscotta, Maine. Sherry, Danielle and a friend are shown here as well. This took a week to make, yours will be much smaller! It will be on the same type of gesso canvas as mine, and I will gift you each a frame so you can hang it with pride. (Check out the clogs!)
