Do you often admire painted furniture and cabinetry featured in magazines or on TV.  You know the pieces I’m talking about.  They have multiple layers of paint, distressed areas, unique hardware, decorative wood details, etc.  The process of reviving your old furniture is both easy and inexpensive. I will show you how to breathe new life into your furniture, cabinets, mirrors, picture frames, etc. Caromal Colours Country Living Paints and products are featured in my makeovers.  They are user friendly, “green”, and produce excellent results. Please bring pictures of your furniture or cabinets you want to makeover and also pics from magazines with the look you would like to achieve.  We will paint, distress, age, change hardware, etc., on some of my work projects.  The finishes we can reproduce are endless.  You will paint 2 wood samples to take home and admire.  I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Child Birth Classes offered at ARTifacts Emporium

Earthy Birth Childbirth Education Classes Begin Tuesday October 19. Class session will last four weeks, every Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. Classes are small and casual, which lends for a more intimate atmosphere to discuss the sacred art of birth. Class schedule and topics are as follows:

Tuesday Oct 19:
Trusting Birth and Trusting Your Body: The Stages of Labor; Getting the Birth you Want Even When Things Do Not Go As You Planned
Birth Art: Finding Your Birth Legacy Through Art

Tuesday Oct 26:
Birth Plans: Should You Write One?
Birth Stories: Listening Sympathetically But Not Owning Another Woman’s Story

Bringing Baby Home: Basic Infant Care, Cord Care, Swaddling, Co-Sleeping, Relationships, Suggested Reading for New Parents.

Participants are encouraged to dress in comfortable clothing, bring cushions to sit on (chairs are sometimes too hard) and bring food and drink if desired. We will also be using different art mediums such as clay, paints, pencils and pastels, and there will be homework, so come prepared with a notebook and something to write with. My hope is that this class will be beneficial to all expectant parents, and different than your run of the mill hospital based childbirth classes.
