Several Windows on Whitefish classes in January
<p>Deb Stika leads several mosaic fish classes in January, as part of Stumptown Art Studio's Windows on Whitefish.</p>
Community members are invited to get involved with the Windows on Whitefish project at Stumptown Art Studio.
The nonprofit studio launched the WOW project a year ago to give the public an opportunity to create art that will be on display in their community. WOW involves creating a four-panel mosaic depicting Whitefish in each of the four seasons. The first mosaic, “Spring,” is finished, and work has begun on the second panel, “Summer.”
Learn the art of mosaic-making from instructor Deb Stika. Stika’s class, which costs $65, involves creating and grouting a mosaic fish.
Once people take a fish class, they may work on the summer panel. Community sessions and grout sessions are free to those who have paid for a mosaic class.
All classes and workshop sessions are held at the old Coldwell Banker Building, 105 Baker Ave. Preregistration with payment is required to reserve a spot to make a mosaic fish. The class is appropriate for ages 16 and up.
A full schedule of this month’s classes and sessions is as follows:
Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon — grout session
