Message from the publisher!

• Have you always wanted to try painting with acrylics, watercolors, or pastels?
• Have you always wanted to learn to draw, work with clay or other mediums?
• Do traditional classroom instructions scare you, you think you're not good enough, or don't have what it takes to be an artist?

Well the Eye of the Eagle Art Center is the place for you.

We give you the tools to bring out your inner child and explore different mediums. When and if you're ready and would like to take it a step further, then we have expert instructors and workshops in acrylics, watercolor and drawing that you can join.

Come join the fun today, meet new friends or bring a friend or two. Call the center and reserve your spot. We would love to have you!

Have a creative artful day!
Donna

Lipscomb's Learning Center of Clayton

The children of the Lipscomb's Learning Center on Second Street in Downtown Clayton had their annual Easter Parade on April 14th. They paraded down 1st Street and stopped at the Eye. The children visited the enchanted garden and had their pictures taken in the garden and on our outdoor stage. http://www.lipscombslearning.com/
