GO Art! offering workshops, including teen animation in Albion

Press Release, GO Art!

ALBION/BATAVIA – GO Art! is running programs for brick building, poetry, teen animation and pillow-making sewing.

• The free four-week Brick Builders Club will take place starting Saturday, Sept. 9 and will run through Sept. 30.  This club meets from 11 a.m. to noon at GO Art!, 201 East Main St., Batavia. Building bricks are provided by GO Art!

Brick Builders is open to ages 5 to 100-plus. Each week there will be a planned activity but it is fine if club members would like to free build. Because club members will have to leave their creations at GO Art! each week’s creations will be photographed and put up on our website (with parental permission).

• GO Art! also is offering a Pillow Making Sewing Class with local quilter and sewing extraordinaire Peg Berhorn. Participants will learn some of the basics of sewing if they do not already know how to sew and also complete a pillow to bring home.

The class will be held on Friday, September 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at GO Art! in Batavia. Open to participants age 12 and older, those who sign up should expect to attend both classes to complete the project. Cost is $20/person for non-GO Art! members and $18/person for members, total, and all materials and tools will be provided.

• GO Art! also is offering a Poetry and Prose Club starting Thursday, Sept. 28, from 6 to 7 p.m. at GO Art! in Batavia. Come and learn some of the basics of creative writing and participate in some fun creative writing activities (blackout poetry, object poetry, short stories and more) to get your creativity flowing or you can just come and network with other creative writers.

There is no cost to participate in this program. Please bring a notebook with you (or a computer) to keep your work on.
