Art Weekend

Melanie's birthday is in November...so for her present I decided I would take her out for a Saturday afternoon and we would take some mini art classes. We took the classes through Nicole's classes Art Weekend in Salt Lake. We took a Screenprinting class and a bookbinding class. It was a lot of fun.

The screenprinting class was really great. Andy, our teacher, taught us how to make our own screens and how to basically set up your own screenprinting workspace in your home bathroom/garage/kitchen...whatever space you have available.

The bookbinding class was more of a refresher for us. Both Melanie and myself have taken bookbinding classes before. It was fun to go to the class and come home with a finished book.

Ben & Oliver came down with Melanie too. They decided to stay the night on Friday because we had to wake up kind of early for our classes.


Oliver and I played Checkers and Chinese Checkers. He was pretty good and beat me every time we played. :)


Melanie, Ben and Caleb played Rock Band.

I'm envious. I was really hoping to take advantage of all of those talented people this weekend. I took a photography class from Nicole about 2 years ago and it was SO fantastic.
