<h3>About the Class</h3>
Have
 you always wanted to paint landscapes but don’t know where to start? Or
 are you curious about acrylics but haven’t taken the plunge yet? In 
this class, you’ll learn a simple technique to create small, abstract 
landscapes on 5” square wooden tiles using a limited palette of colors. You’ll
 be guided through the basics of acrylic paints and mediums, including 
surface preparation, color blending with a flat bristle brush, and using
 different tools to add texture and detail. By the end of the class, 
you’ll apply a final coat of medium to seal and protect your artwork, 
leaving you with 2-3 completed pieces to take home, along with a little 
easel to display your favorite one. This class is perfect for 
beginners, though some prior painting experience is helpful. The process
 you’ll learn can easily be applied to larger paintings or even collage 
projects. All materials are provided. Feel free to bring snacks or a bag lunch to eat while you work.

Discover and master the potential of your iPhone camera with professional photographers Susan and Neil Silverman of <a href="https://silvermansphotography.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">silvermansphotography.com</a>. 
The first half of the workshop (held inside the House of Happy Walls Museum) will cover settings, filters, exposure, focus, shutter speeds, panoramas, macro, close ups, and portraits, with an emphasis on the creative and artistic side of photography. The morning venue is reached by a narrow staircase to the second floor. Call 707-938-5216 with questions about access.
The group will then move outdoors to put into practical use the things we have just talked about. Bring your lunch for a quick picnic. 
Participants will leave with some potential great images, confidence, and expanded knowledge in using the iPhone camera to capture images that are real “keepers.”
All levels of photography experience are welcome, as are both iPhones and Androids (iPhones will be used for demonstrations).

GoFlow Plumbing

At GoFlow, we take ownership of your plumbing problem from the moment you call. It’s not just a phrase—it’s how we work. We know this area, we know plumbing, and we care deeply about doing the job right. We’re not a franchise or a dispatch center. We’re a local company built by plumbers who got tired of seeing homeowners treated like transactions instead of people. GoFlow Plumbing Team Three Generations of Plumbing Our roots go back to 1959, spanning three generations of hands-on plumbing experience. Along the way, we’ve learned what truly lasts, what causes problems, and what homeowners need to feel confident in their homes. We built GoFlow on a simple belief: people deserve clarity, honesty, and real protection. We both grew up around plumbing, learned the trade hands-on, and saw too many companies put sales ahead of solutions. So we chose to build something better.
