The St. Mary’s Arts Council, in conjunction with Leonardtown’s Arts & Entertainment District, held their first annual Art*Work*Shop event Saturday, September 12th in Leonardtown. Nine professional artists from Southern Maryland introduced students of all ages to a variety of artistic media. Students explored their creative side with classes in watercolors, poetry writing, landscapes and abstraction, needle felting, raku glazing, stained glass, digital photography, and clay sculpting.
Most classes were held at the Leonardtown Arts Center, which offers studio space for working artists and is a gallery for the works of many local artists. Classes were also held at Yellow Door Art Studios and Caught My Eye.
