Art For The Masses - The Art of Coiling-Pine Basket Making Series
2019-08-10 13:00 - 16:00 | Highlands Art League / MoTA, 1985 Lakeview Drive, Sebring, 33870, United States
For 21 years artist, Gloria Peters was aboard a 40’ sailboat, traveling the world. Peters had an older sister who took art classes in high school. Fascinated, she tried her hand at it. She’s always loved being creative – whether with paper, fabric or glass. In the late 60s, Billie Ross, a purse designer on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue, created fashion that fascinated Peters. She began painting purses for Ross.
Peters has always been a designer at heart; self-taught in several art areas. From creating her own wardrobe when she was young, to Ross’ brand-name purses, while at sea Peters created designs for inlaid wood table tops for boats, specializing in the Compass Rose and special orders. For three or four months, Hurricane season landed Gloria and her husband Mike up the Rio Dulce River in Guatemala, where other cruisers in the marina passed the time making pine needle baskets. Peters creative nature took over. Twenty-one years later, her baskets created for family, friends, and clients are a treasure of Peters’ artistic efforts.
Peters also does stained-glass, mosaics, and paints watercolor. “Everything I do is related to nature,” Peters said about her work. She claims her process is sometimes not as others do, but it works for her. We are pleased to have Peters with us this First Quarter, beginning with a class on basket making, “The Art of Coiling.”
The Art of Coiling will teach the basics of pine needle basket making, including selection and preparation of materials, four different stitches, embellishment, and finishing. Participants will come away from the class with a beautiful decorative basket, as well as the knowledge that they can use to begin this artform on their own.
Class Date/Time: Saturdays, August 10 – September 7 [no class on August 31], 1 – 4 p.m.
Place: Visual Art Center, HAL [teal building on Lake Jackson, ample parking in the lot]
Instructor/Artist: Gloria Peters
Cost: $65 – includes all materials for your 8” x 4” basket

Art Uncorked Scrappy Sculpture
2019-08-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Highlands Art League / MoTA, 1985 Lakeview Drive, Sebring, 33870, United States
Partnering with Robbins Nursery, HAL’s Barb Hall and Nancy Palmer invite you to take a new take on Art Uncorked. Come put your stamp on late summer creating a draped concrete pot out of an old towel, favorite worn-out sweatshirt or T-shirt, or flannel blanket. Add a little color, and finish it off with selecting a plant that says “back to school” at Robbins’ to adorn your patio or front step. Bring your fabric item and friends, and we’ll provide the cement, water, form, instruction, colors, refreshments, and fun. You’ll return in a few days and your pot will be available for pick up, along with the $5 gift certificate toward your plant at Robbins’. If you loved making mud pies or a mess when you were small, you’ll love this little bit of creative fun getting “artsy”.
Art Uncorked is 21+
If you haven’t tried an Art Uncorked class yet, ask your friends – they’ll tell you what you are missing! HAL offers this wildly popular concept to non-artists and artist alike. With our Art Uncorked series, you’ll complete a project in one evening and enjoy a fun, laid-back evening of creativity with wine and light snacks offered. Paint, sculpt, or complete your own project along with our artists, or pick your own variation to match your unique style. Join us for an open Art Un-corked session or let us arrange a private party for your group of ten or more. We also offer private parties for groups of ten (10) or more – where you work with the artists to pick the painting or project – and enjoy the fun and enjoyment of a private session with our artists.

The Process: You will walk into a controlled underwater environment at a shallow depth of 4 feet. From there your instructor will take you to the deeper part of the pool at about 12 feet in depth. In this part you and your group will take a great souvenir photo and then you get to swim back to the shallow part where you will have then completed your very first dive!
Requirements: You must be at least 10 years old and in good health. You will also be asked to sign a Liability Waiver.
Preregister by August 7th by marking yourself as ‘going’ on the event page and get prepayments to Coach Caton at SHS! It’s that easy! If you preregister, you can try scuba for just $35 Donation!
The CASH donation cost after August 8th or at the gate is $50. Normally “Try Scuba” would cost you $100 but through this event you get to try scuba for half the price!
By trying scuba with us, not only will you be getting to essentially breathe underwater, but you will also be supporting the SHS Swim and Dive team.* Come live out your dream and help our Blue Streaks at the SHS “Try Scuba” event sponsored by Under Pressure Sports.
