Treasures

The non-profit gallery and art education facility is kicking off the New Year with four initial offerings – Chair Caning, Ceramics, and two painting classes, Art Escape for adults and Art Zone for youth. Chair Caning is instructed by Joyce Huizinga of Demopolis, who has won many awards and honors for her unique creations and teaches classes to adults and children in America and abroad. Several of her current students have gone on to open their own chair caning businesses. Ceramics classes are being offered by Kristin Law of Camden, who previously taught ceramics and jewelry making at the Hermitage Museum & Gardens Visual Arts School in Norfolk, VA where she also served the Curator of Collections. Kristin, who holds a degree in Ceramics from the University of Montevallo, has received awards for her pottery and sculpture throughout the south. Emilie Nan Oglesby of Monroeville will be teaching painting to both adults and youth through the regionally popular classes Art Escape and Art Zone. A graduate of Auburn University, Emilie Nan Oglesby creates art and teaches art from her Monroeville studio named The Hole In The Wall.
