This slender, sleeker new model of the Newsletter allows for easier reading, even on the smallest of devices yet still retains the familiar look and feel everyone has come to know, love and expect from TraillWorks.
July's newsletter gives you a personal invitation to our summer exhibit and workshops, to view the largest artwork Jennie has ever worked on, and exciting announcements. We hope to see you sometime over the summer for some respite from the heat and ots of pleasures for your eyes at TraillWorks.

Lessons
Summer Flex Lessons
TraillWorks is offering a variation on last summer's successful
Flex-Schedule! The summer session will still offer the same individualized
instruction TraillWorks is known for, with small classes and projects geared
towards individual interests. This is also a great opportunity for high school
students to jump-start or fine-tune their portfolios.
The summer session will be 8 weeks in length. Our flex schedule allows for
vacation time during your busy summer. Choose at minimum, a single month
at $125 (does not need to be used consecutively), a single month with weekly
sessions at $35 added on as your schedule permits, or purchase the full two
months $220 (all 8 weeks). A registration fee applies to cover materials.
For more information about TraillWorks' summer flex lessons visit our lesson page or give us a call at 973-383-1307

Take your art outside and get some fresh air this summer. TraillWorks'
own, Jennie Traill Schaeffer, will guide you throughout the summer in getting
comfortable with painting en plein air. Using watercolor as the medium of
focus, students will explore constructing paintings of landscapes on location.
We'll explore both zooming in and out of the landscape; capturing details of
nature and larger scenes or impressions. A list of painting spots will be
handed out and determined for each week's session, the first starting at
TraillWorks, painting on Spring Street.
Class Fees:
8 Weeks - $275
4 Flex Weeks - $175
Additional Flex Weeks - $40
Deadline to Register is July 10th at Midnight.
New Student Work
The students are a fountain of creativity and it shows in all the work
they do. They have so much creativity in fact that we have a hard time keeping
up with sharing all of it with you. Below is a recent illustration of our studio mascot, Harry, the duck by Levi Burnell.

Jennie
St. Joseph's Mural Commission Progress
The mural for St.
Joseph's Regional School continues full steam ahead! In the past few weeks Jennie has made leaps and bounds, despite the heat, with the progression of the mural. Jennie is also happy to announce that the time with the scaffolding is nearly complete. A majority of the work that required the scaffolding is nearly done and all that is left is ground work.
To watch the project unfold, or fill in, visit our Facebook page. Jennie frequently posts updates as she's painting.

Two New Interns
TraillWorks is proud to welcome two new summer nterns to the team - Shannon Bentley(left) and Sarah Cannavale right).
Shannon Bentley, a resident of Newton, comes to TraillWorks via the Youth Connections Program of Project Self-Sufficiency. Recently attaining her GED, Shannon is starting school at Dover Business School working towards a medical technology degree and hopes to then attend art school in the future. During her internship, Shannon will assist Jennie with mural work and also implement an improved inventory system for Jennie's artwork.
Sarah Cannavale is a resident of Branchville NJ and a senior at Drew University in a Madison NJ where she majors in Art History with a minor in Anthropology. Sarah plays field hockey at Drew and received the most valuable player award in her junior year. She has been named to the Landmark Conference All Academic Honor Roll the past two years. Sarah hopes to further her studies and pursue a graduate degree in the art history field. Her love for art and interest in research will hopefully land her an opportunity to work in an auction hall or a museum upon graduation. She is focusing her summer internship at TraillWorks on workshop development.
