Frances Buckmaster and Patty McPhee invite you to a meeting to discuss a new covenant group for artists and — yes! — that means all who would-like-to-be-artists-but-think-they-can’t-be! They promise you that if you can steer a car down a road, get a fork to your mouth, or take a sip of coffee from a cup that you can learn to draw! You will quickly discover that drawing is simply learning to see accurately, making use of your hand-eye coordination and practicing (a lot) using the sort of tools artists use. All of this is, of course, challenging while also great fun to do, especially in a setting with no criticism, no grades, and lots of support!

Interested? Please add your name to the list of interested people with Susie Maharry, Director of Adult Religious Education, at Dir.ARE@TahomaUU.com or at the ARE table by the sanctuary doors on Sunday morning.

Bring a sandwich and beverage for your lunch on Sunday, January 27, 2019 to enjoy during our meeting at 12:30 p.m.

The agenda for our initial gathering on Sunday, January 27 will be:

• meet each other and see how many folks are interested in joining the group;
• define what a Covenant Group is and explore what it can be;
• choose a “best” monthly meeting date and time;
• choose a meeting location;
• talk about art supplies;
• and answer everyone’s questions.

Our first regular meeting will be in February, when we’ll begin learning, practicing, building skills, and taking on some stretch goals together.
