On Saturday, December 2, 2023, the public is invited to The Loft of Main, 112 E. Main Street, Morrison, IL, for a “drop-in” ornament painting party, between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. This creative endeavor was planned for art lovers of all ages.
Hundreds of salt clay Christmas ornaments have been prepared: snowfigure, bell, star, tree, wreath, gingerbread figure, teddy bear, circle, or heart. After selecting a couple, remember to write your name on the unpainted backside. Embellish them with tempera paint donated by CAPA. Add a hanging string.
There is no charge to make art. However, Morrison woodworker Everett Pannier created a Donation Box that lives on the counter.
Fill out a Wish List card if you feel “bonded” with a unique piece of creativity. Be sure to let your special ones know you have chosen something, that will bring you continual pleasure, as a holiday–or special occasion–gift.
Pick up dried clay pieces during the evening Christmas Walk or next week, starting on Thursday, December 7. Two of the Editor’s 2021 ornaments are visible: “Frosty” and a silver star.
