| Teresa Barnes: Glass Fusing and Pottery: A
potter for 10+ years, my interest in the arts drives me to experiment
with forms and formulas. Many awards over the years reinforce my desire
to learn and do more. Recently, fused and slumped glass pieces have
been added to my treasures. This new venture has endless possibilities. An artist will spend a lifetime learning their craft, but at some point the need to give back becomes important. I have been teaching pottery for the last ten years to both adults and children. I now teach for Cobb County at the Art Station and for the City of Kennesaw. Adults can also learn glass fusing and slumping in my classes at the Art Station. Children delight in my Kids Hand Building classes. They have fun building fanciful creatures, castles and functional items like bookends and candleholders. Please visit my website. It is full of Treasures. www.treasuresbyteresa.net  Teresa was recently featured for her glass fusing classes in the January / February 2008 issue of Cherokee Life magazine! Congratulations, Teresa!

Ms. Michael Connell: Fine Art: With artwork currently travelling to several museums in Norway, and a solo exhibition touring major museums in Europe and Asia from 2006 to 2010, Michael Connell exhibits using her her middle name, "Michael Wood." Her upcoming exhibit will include paintings in oil, watercolor, and acrylic, drawings in graphite and pastel, photography, sculpture and mixed media. Michael's course offerings at the Art Station are as varied as her art. She teaches courses in painting, drawing and mixed media. Born in New York of Southern parents, Michael was a happy nomad. Her early childhood as a Navy junior even included a residency aboard a comissioned Navy troop carrier in the Pacific - she credits this with her love of oceans, travel, and appreciation of things different and new. Her primary interest is in her students - both adults and children. She considers herself truly honored to work with such enthusiastic and gifted people. Michael also draws energy and creativity from other instructors involved in area art programs. She's very happy to have her very first home here in Kennesaw.  Betty Vroman: Beading: Among the Miami people, I am Neh Wah Na. The Miami were part of the Algonquin Confederation in the Ohio River Valley. My sisters, brothers, and I were brought up with the traditions and stories of the Miami. A number of years ago, I took a beading class. After I had mastered the basics of several overall techniques, my imagination and memories of tradition took over. Much of my work is inspired by traditional motifs of the Miami people. My own creativity melds it into a design that is uniquely my own. I also like to work with beading patterns and techniques of other cultures and times, from ancient Egyptian to Victorian to very contemporary. Beadwork is a very satisfying form of self-expression. I share my heritage and beading skills learned over the years by teaching classes through Cobb County Parks and Recreation. I share my stories with school groups, scouts, and storytelling festivals such as Folk Tales of the Rails. Cah wah Lit Pac kah Wahl we ouk Lo not. "Laugh with beautiful beads."  |
