The Gaston County Art Guild met at Unity place on Tuesday February 10th 2009 at 7pm to learn the basics of mono printing, and get organized for 2009. Although things will be tough financially for most of us this year, being part of the arts will no doubt bring solace to the soul.
Thanks to Lori Lytle for bringing all the supplies and setting up for the mono printing "class". It was informative, fun, and funky. Thanks also to Lori for serving as secretary this past year. If anyone has any ideas for interesting and fun presentations for future meetings please contact Dennis Shook.
