Jennie Traill Schaeffer: Teaching Artist

Dear ,

End of summer, already? Say it isn't so. I'm still in a state of disbelief as to how quickly this season blew by. I had a very filling summer, both artistically and personally.

Adult watercolor classes continued for a shortened session over the summer, at the studio and outside (for the few classes we could muster with the rain) at South Mountain Reservation. In my own studio, I worked on finishing my newest TeaScapes, framing them and getting them online for sale. Additionally, a huge card order came in for Kitchen A La Mode which took up the end of my summer. I also got a chance to squeeze in a little bit of art viewing - two of which took the form of homes - check it out on my blog.

New works didn't really happen much this summer; the above took up a good portion of my energy while some health troubles kept me less productive than usual. More on that in another email / blog. I'm happy to say I'm moving forward.

I'm excited to see the return of my students to the studio, to learn about their summers, their artwork creation, and to get back at making. Lacey at Oh Canary has taken a lot of your feedback into consideration, and is making some improvements to the space over the next few weeks including: fresh paint, new flooring, new shelving, more cohesive storage, and a kraft paper roll for demo purposes. I'll be clearing out my stuff and moving it back in just prior to classes starting on the 17th. So much to look forward to!

I do hope you'll choose to "fall forward" with me at Oh Canary.

Creatively,

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

FALL ART CLASSES

Come and experience the process of pushing your creative muscles and finding a sense of mindfulness through art-making. 4, 8, and 10 Week sessions are available, as well as the option to add drop in classes if you know you can't make the entire 10-week session.

My first tween class (Tuesdays at 4pm) begins on the night before Yom Kippur. If you are interested in that class and this is a conflict, I have wiggle room in my schedule and may be able to add a class into December. Please get in touch with me.

Another note - Saturday is my scheduled teen class, however, I have historically offered spaces (if room) to tweens who can't fit the Tuesday class into their schedule.

TWO ART HOMES - On the Blog

Luna Parc and Randyland are two treasures I had the joy of visiting this summer. Luna Parc is located in northwestern NJ, and Randyland is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Both were begun by artist visionaries who have, over time - through donations, innovation, and hard work - have transformed their homes into works of art. These artistic homes have far exceeded their walls in both ornamentation and outreach. I invite you to explore some of the many photos I took, along with a brief background to each. I'm still processing my visits and am sure at some point, they will influence my lessons.
