Total Recommendations (0)

Tacoma is a living, breathing example of the powerful positive impact art can have on a community. So it's not surprising to see Saturday bringing an event at Tacoma Art Place simply known as Community Art Day. And the title pretty much says it all. Expect workshops, demonstrations and family fun all day, and all for free. There's a raffle and silent auction too! The Weekly Volcano is a proud sponsor of Community Art Day.

All day

Plein Air Drawing: Large easels under a tent outside all day long for anyone who wants to draw.

Pin Design: Bring your own objects (old earrings, a small odd object, small handmade pieces) or use TAP supplies and leave with a wearable piece of art.

Clay Medallions: Learn to work with clay and how to use glazes.

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Community Scarf Project: Knit a few rows on the community scarf.

Clay Orchid Pot Demo ...

Quilting demonstration: See how fabric scraps become a useful work of art.

Kid's Corner with Lori: Origami, paper collage and glitter galore.

Noon to 5 p.m.

Digitally-altered Portraits: Selma will take your picture and give you an opportunity to pick the background. The photos will be printed later for pick up at TAP.

2-6 p.m.

Pot Throwing: Susan will show you how to use the wheel

[Tacoma Art Place, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., free, 1116 S. 11th St., Tacoma, 253.238.1006]
