Hello KK'ers! Some announcements on this billowy, blustery Keweenaw Day:

 

Adult Open Studio is canceled for tonight!

 We are postponing it for exactly one week: Join us next Thursday, January 26 from 6 - 9 p.m. for this free event. This free, monthly gathering is an opportunity for artists 18 and older to work on projects in a relaxed environment with like-minded folks. Bring your own project or call ahead to find out what tools and materials we have on hand. We have supplies for mosaics, fabric arts and collage, just to name a few! 906-934-3824

 

Kids Open Studio Still Happening, This Saturday
This Saturday, from 12 - 3 p.m., parents and kids are welcome to join us in the Art Room at our Mohawk facilities. Saturday Open Studio is a free, monthly event geared to kids but open to all who wish to stop in. This month, we have hand-picked some supplies for making Valentines cards and gifts. Kids are also welcome to bead, paint and even use our hot glue gun (with permission).

Every now and then, we must stop to give thanks to the people who help Keweenaw Krayons thrive -- and today, I'd like to thank Michele Bourdieu, editor of that vital Copper Country publication, Keweenaw Now. In addition to promoting arts, culture and community in the Keweenaw, Michele reports on some of the region's most pressing issues. If you've never browsed Keweenaw Now, take a moment to do so! Thanks for supporting us, Michele!

Winter 2012 is Here!

Hello Keweenaw-ites! I hope your holiday was as wonderful and relaxing as ours. We have a lot of news to catch you up on, so I'll just dive in:

 

Group Guitar Lessons

Guitar lessons are still taking place at Keweenaw Krayons and at Calumet High School, with one change: We are asking that 2012 participants make a one-time, $20 payment that will allow us to keep the program funded. Our number-one priority, however, is getting kids to participate. If you have any questions about the fee, we are here to talk. Call Elise at 934.3824.

 

Also, instructor Dean Lahti will now be teaching guitar classes at Keweenaw Krayons on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. No longer will lessons be held on Saturday mornings. Classes at Calumet High School will continue to take place on Tuesdays after school, as they were this fall.

 

We are excited to announce that we are working towards a Gift of Music Recital in the fourth week of May, to end this year's program on a high note. Stay tuned for more info -- we have an awesome venue in the works!

 

Open Studio

Open Studio participants, take note: there are some big changes for this program in the new year. Instead of having weekly Open Studio sessions, we are focusing all of our energy on two monthly events.

 

Adult Swim Open Studio

Through May, the third Thursday of each month is a chance for folks to gather at Keweenaw Krayons' Mohawk facilities to make art in fellowship with like-minded creative types. All artists over the age of 18 are welcome to attend this relaxed and relaxing happening. Bring your own supplies or call ahead to find out what tools and materials Keweenaw Krayons has to offer -- our inventory boasts everything from fabric art to mosaics. There may be a fee for the use of some materials so that we can replenish our supplies.

 

Classic Open Studio

Through May, the third Saturday afternoon of every month is a chance for artists of all ages to wander into Keweenaw Krayons' Mohawk facilities and make... whatever they want. We have crayons, paints, pencils, markers, scissors, glue, stickers, more paper than you can shake a stick at, and plenty of random objects to excite the imagination. Some Third Saturdays will feature special artist appearances -- check our website blog or call Elise for updates: 906.934.3824. Registration for this event is welcome but not required.

 

Crayon Crafts

On the first Monday of each month, crayon magician Diana Langdon guides participants through techniques that will expand what you thought you knew about that humble shape-shifiting object, the crayon. Activities include (but are not limited to) wax painting and molding. Participants of all ages are welcome to attend. The event is free, but please register so we can plan to have adequate staff and supplies for the evening. Click here to register for February's workshop.

 

And last but certainly not least:

Tuesday Tai Chi and Qigong Classes Begin February 7

 

You heard it here first (or maybe you didn't): Darlene Basto returns to teach her popular classes, Qigong Wellness and Tai Chi 8. Both will take place on Tuesday evening. We will begin with Qigong Wellness from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and continue with Tai Chi 8 from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. Both courses last six weeks and cost $75 each; students who wish to take both courses can pay a discount fee of $125. The optional companion book to both series, The Healer Within, is $15.

 

You can register for Qigong Wellness here and Tai Chi 8 here. To recieve the discount rate, call Elise at 934.3824 or just pay in person.
