Hello Everyone - Christmas is just around the corner -- although it is a very busy time, many of you are finding time to paint and enjoy this special time here at Cochrane Arts Central. Wednesday and thursday day classes are full which is fantastic for this hectic season. The winter class schedule is out and posted on the "Classes" page. Check it out. I have organized the classes so they all follow the same format (except for the weekend workshops). I think this schedule will offer a regular routine that all students will become familiar with - basically all classes run on a 4 week time frame and continue each month. Take a look at the schedule and it will describe these classes in detail. We will add more classes as they get organized. If you have never painted before but have always wanted to try it, the Sampler Class may appeal to you. Even if you are not into the arts, you may know someone who is. Classes are a wonderful Christmas gift and we would love to organize the class and supplies to go with it to make the gift complete. If you can't think about what to get the artist in your life, a Gift Certificate may be the answer. Available in all denominations with no expiry date and they may be used for classes.
We are having a Christmas Sale starting on December 15 - December 24. All products (excluding art pieces) will be 15% off! So stock up - art supplies make great Christmas gifts!
We have wonderful art works in the Gallery area painted by local artists. Paintings also are great Christmas presents. We have all price ranges to suit everyone's budget and lay-a-way plans are available.
I would like to thank all my customers for supporting Cochrane Arts Central in 2012. I look forward to seeing you and many new faces in 2013. Coffee is always on - drop by even just for inspiration. My friendly staff are very supportive and welcoming! So on behalf of the staff and teachers, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Marla Blackwell
