Salt Valley Arts Open House, Sunday, September 10 from 2-4 pm at their studio space in EHM Senior Solutions Professional Building, Entrance A, 400 W. Russell St, Saline.Bring a friend or two and see what we have been up to over the last year. It is time to be almost done in your garden and time to get back to your studio, or perhaps making things for the upcoming holiday season.Our Cake Eaters group still meets on Friday morning where conversation is the main ingredient, but also a time to bring whatever you are working on to share with the group. We also have groups meeting to specialize on all types of Fiber Arts, a group who is inspired by Nature, and a Writer’s group. Plus, we have our Community Service group which has made mittens to benefit Saline Social Service and they will soon be making fidget mats for those with memory issues and special needs.What other groups would you like to see so that you can share your work with others while you are in the creative process? Jewelry? Water colors? Painting? Pastels? Paper? Collaging? Altered books/Junk Journaling? The ideas are limitless and will let you get together with your “tribe” during the creative process.Although we no longer offer specific classes, many of the groups have used their meeting time for demonstrations and participation in learning new techniques. We are always looking for those willing to share what they know with their group.At this Open House we will also be introducing our latest “Challenge”. For those who remember all of the 212 Challenges, this is our take. Cathy Cieglo’s late mother was a prolific limerick writer and she has shared her wonderful collection with us. Many of us were immediately inspired to create by her images. Although we are starting now, these will not be “due” until after the first of next year.We hope you and your friends will join us and learn about what a hidden treasure Salt valley Arts is in the community. We are there to support the creative process and make sure you realize there are others out there doing similar work on whom you can lean and from whom you can learn and share.
