Screen printing is the process that involves transferring a stenciled design on a flat surface with ink, a mesh screen, and a squeegee. In the first class you will design your print and in the second class you will learn how and create your print. Please bring several items you wish to print: t-shirt, cloth bag, bandana, etc. Register here or at the front desk.

Take the mystery out of oil painting by doing a quick mini painting of local places. After a quick intro with how to use oils, each student will complete a mini painting. If you have a camping or lawn chair, please bring it with you. Materials included. Meet at the following locations for “open air” painting outdoors. We will reschedule in case of inclement weather. Register here for July and August or at the front desk.

Icebreakers are an easy way to meet new people. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and come participate! We'll have pizza and pop after. Please register by Jul 10. Register here or at the front desk.

The picnic is one way of celebrating you as an SASC Member! Please be sure to sign up in advance and if for some reason you can’t attend, let us know. We need to be sure we have enough food for all in attendance. Register by Jul 7.

The picnic will be at Mill Pond Park pavilion, 565 W. Bennett Street. SASC will serve as the back-up if there is inclement weather. Register here or at the front desk.
