New Violin in Progress & Classes!

I don't usually post photos of works in progress, but this one may be shown in the Daily Local newspaper this week.  There will be an article coming out Thursday, April 5 about my violins and the Painted Violin project for the Community Music School with photos of me with this violin and the one at the Kimmel Center.  This is the second in a series of Four Seasons on Violins.  Winter and Summer are coming next but I am still in need of another violin or two.  Please contact me if you have an old violin you would like to donate to the cause!  This violin will be on display at Beam's Music in Frazer later this month.

Gallery School of Pottstown: 

SPIRIT ANIMAL MOSAIC (ages 13-17) with Amy Bruckner

Native American beliefs embrace the idea of animal guides with one totem animal that acts as the main guardian spirit. With this one animal a connection is shared, either through interest in the animal, characteristics, dreams, or other interaction. This animal guide offers power and wisdom to the individual when he or she conveys their respect and trust and are open to learning its lessons. This class will help students identify their spirit animal guide through a series of questions, and then design and create a mosaic with vitreous glass that honors their spirit animal. No previous mosaic experience necessary. There is a $10 material fee per student, payable to the instructor at the first class. SUMMER SESSION begins July 10. Class runs Fridays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm for 4 weeks. $130 (member), $140 (non-member). Visit www.galleryonhigh.orgfor more information and to register.
