To My Fellow Artists:

Q: How do I cure painted glass or ceramics when using FolkArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Paint?

A:

There are two types of curing methods that can be used with FolkArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Paint, baking and air drying.

Bake Method: Allow painted item to dry for 1 hour to be sure all layers of paint have dried. Place project in a cool oven. Set oven temperature to 350º F. Once temperature has reached 350ºF, start timing for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off. Glass must heat gradually with the oven to avoid breakage. Do not place glass in a hot oven. Let glass cool completely in oven. Do not use for 72 hours.

Air Dry Method: Air dry project for 21 days before use.

No, not that kind of sherry, this kind. . .

Tom George of Frontier Wine Imports will present a tasting of sherry geared towards persons who have a fundamental knowledge of wine but no knowledge of sherry (sounds like me!).

The presentation starts with the definition of sherry, tracing sherry’s history starting with the Phoenicians who developed sherry, the geographic area in southwestern Spain where sherry is produced, the viticulture, the varietals, and the sherry bodegas.  Then we trace the sherry production method, where we discover the various styles of sherry, discussing the distinctions of each style.  Finally, we taste all 11 styles of sherry from one producer.

We DO NOT have a specific time yet, but we are assuming early in the evening as a starting time.  This is a FREE tasting, so it may be a good time to invite some friends. 

Details will follow soon, so check the blog spot often!
