     Imagine a place where you and your children, your employees, your colleagues and your clients can comfortably make art. No experience necessary, ages 2-102.  FLOOF Collage pARTy! is that place. With 500 square feet of fabrics, found objects, bits of hardware, vintage jewelry, shells and beads you can create everything under the sun.

There are baskets of scissors and glues, wire for mobiles, treasure boxes, canvases, wood and paper by the roll. Paints, markers, crayons, charcoal, colored pencils and pastels await your command.

Goal number one is fun! A giant oak table with seating for ten budding artists can also be used for snacks or birthday cake. If adults want to BYOB for an evening party, voila: Art Happy Hour!

You will find FCp! a place to relax, celebrate special events, or just soothe and heal your soul through guided creative expression.  Corinne Stern is an experienced artist and teacher who will help you create a personal work of art that will satisfy your emotional and spiritual self.  You can even buy more materials by the pound in a Take-Home Pak.

FCp! is located in NE Ithaca, with plenty of free off-street parking and full wheelchair accessibility. TCAT buses #30 and #32 stop nearby. A wheelchair ramp leads to the deck facing our woods and creek to let nature inspire you to create when the weather cooperates.

]]> http://ethanstern.com/glass/inky/feed/ 0 Natural order: Observations of nature from the island of Oahu http://ethanstern.com/garden/natural-order-observations-of-nature-from-the-island-of-oahu/ http://ethanstern.com/garden/natural-order-observations-of-nature-from-the-island-of-oahu/#comments Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:39:08 +0000 estern http://ethanstern.com/?p=740 I just spent a week in Hawaii teaching and doing demos at the University of Hawaii on Oahu. What a beautiful place. I cant even begin to describe the beauty, the feeling in the air, the ocean and the amazing people that I met. I am sure a lot of you have already been to the Hawaiian Islands, but this was my first time. I was hosted by my friend Kait Rhoads who is teaching at the University for a semester and changing lives by the minute. I spent a lot of time in the studio but even more time out side. From hiking mountains to swimming oceans to giving tourists reccomendations on places to eat I had a full week. Sunsets, rainbows, sushi, tonkatsu, udon, musube and kimchee! Not to mention getting leid three times!

So here are some photographs from around Oahu. I tried to find texture and focus on the micro compositions and surfaces.

Favorites:  Rainbow Eucalyptus and Iron Wood bark! Holy shit!

Aloha
