Spring Vacation Camp

April vacation is just around the corner and ECCA is here to provide wonderful art programming during that week! Our Spring Vacation Camp runs from April 26-30. Each day has a morning session from 9-11am and an afternoon session from 1-3pm. You can register for all day camp, or just the morning or afternoon sessions. Check it out on our website, www.exeterarts.net.

The Art of Welding

The Art of Welding taught by Joseph Montroy, is set to begin a new session on April 8th! Consider welding as a medium to express an artistic flair. This class is a hands-on experience. The beginner can learn basic skills and safety practices with the tools while exploring ways of creating art pieces. The intermediate and more experienced artists can continue practicing skills learned in previous welding classes.

Joe is a wonderful teacher. He is highly skilled as a sculptor and brings a deep passion for it to his work with both beginner and experienced welders. He is especially adept at allowing the student to direct their work. He steps in and out of the teaching moment, watching and guiding with a keen eye and gentle method.

Classes are held at the Seacoast School of Technology on Linden Street in Exeter, just up the street from ECCA. Two levels are scheduled, both on Thursday evenings. The continuing student/artist begins each evening at 6pm and goes until 8:30pm. The new student/artist will come in at 6:30pm, and also work until 8:30pm.

Don't delay...it begins in just a few days!

Gardens, gardens, we need gardens...

We are beginning to put together our 2nd annual Art in the Garden Tour in Exeter, scheduled for Saturday June 26, and are looking for people in Exeter who would be willing to open up their gardens for us. During this tour, an area artist who does out-door artwork (sculptors, wood workers, potters) will display their work in your garden. Visitors will follow a tour we lay out, from garden to garden, to see the landscaping and artwork. Last year's tour was great fun and a huge success. This is a fundraiser for ECCA to help support our art education program, and provide class scholarships to area children. If you have a garden you are willing to share to support this great cause, please let us know and we'll provide you with all the details. You can reach ECCA by phone at 778-8441 or email at ecca@rcn.com
