Class Content: Join me in an acrylic painting class of this Cabin in the Snow in a Thomas Kinkade style. Dont worry if you don’t draw, I will have an outline of the cabin, so you don’t need to draw it, but you can if you want to! I’ll show you some tricks for neat backgrounds and then we will paint this peaceful local scene. You won’t believe how simple the cabin is to paint with a specific brush I will bring for you!

Whether you are a beginner or advanced painter, you will have fun with this piece.
I provide personal assistance around the room as you all create your own special techniques to take home and try on some more paintings. Beginners or experienced are welcome.

Supply List: FREE -All Supplies are included. I will provide a 11×14 canvas for everyone as well as brushes, paint, etc. Since larger canvases require more detail to fill them in, This canvas size is easier to complete in a shorter class and is ideal size for finding a spot your home or on a bookshelf to display your beautiful work!

Biography: Hi! I’m Carol Robin King, an artist and teacher with a lifelong love of art. My journey began raised as the daughter of missionaries in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where as early as the age of 3 my mom said art was the only thing that could get me to sit still!

In Argentina, art is heavily interwoven into school curriculum, so it was the perfect place to fuel my creative spark. After three years at a professional art school there, I moved to the U.S. for college and continued to find ways to make art a part of my world including painting portraits for a little extra cash.

Teaching has always been close to my heart. I’ve been sharing my passion for painting for over 20 years, starting out teaching kids in homeschool co-ops. Now I’m lucky enough to teach in-person classes at seven different locations, including a gallery, local art store and a College Lifelong Learning program.

My teaching philosophy is simple: I believe that art should be fun and stress-free. I’m a patient and encouraging teacher who wants everyone to feel confident and relaxed in their art journey. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to explore new techniques, My mission is to guide you step by step in a friendly, supportive environment.

No matter your experience level, you’re welcome in my classes—and I can’t wait to help you discover your Inner Artist!

Class Content: We will practice the wet felting method, using wool fibers and mulberry paper to create a beautiful lighting design. The paper felts into the wool, and the result is a new fabric that is both sheer and sturdy. I will walk you through the process of laying fibers and paper to create this lamp shade. You will design your own cut outs of paper so that when you turn on the light, you will see your design illuminated. If you are new to felting, you will learn the steps, and if you are experienced with wet felting, but you have not tried combining wool and paper, then you might be enchanted with the possibilities! ALL SUPPLIES are included: wool, mulberry paper, puck light.

Supply List: I will supply your wool, paper, and puck light. Please bring the following tools:

• 1 small bath towel, older the better.
• 6 old dish towels.
• 1 small 1 quart bowl.
• 1 ball brause if you have it. For squirting water.

Biography: Lori has been felting for 10 years, trying many different techniques, including nuno felting, sculptural felting, needle felting. She finds the most joy in teaching others about the ancient fiber art of felting. In 2025, she created a community project for Art Guild members to create felt art and exhibit the work at the Tellico Library. Her classes include bag making, 2D art, lamp making, and a forest style vessel. Visit her website on etsy.
