Currently featured at ART on FIRST are mosaics by Suzanne Hatch and Joi Tripp. Suzanne creates mosaic artwork using glass, metal, ceramics, and semi-precious stones to form intricate designs. For many of her pieces, she builds a three dimensional substrate that begins with chicken wire, plaster, and mortar. Alternatively, Joi brings the timeless art of micro-mosaics to life. She cuts and files tiny glass rods into pieces averaging 2mm x 2mm. These small pieces are then placed into an epoxy adhesive bed that is permanent.

Travel to the land of dragons, castles, unicorns and griffons, heroes and heroines. A world of mystery and magic, in a time of kings and queens. We’ll be drawing, painting, and playing with mixed media as we illustrate our fantasy worlds. Basic drawing and painting techniques will be introduced along with a variety of resource and collage materials to further create our fantasy worlds. Let’s have fun exploring. Dress for a mess!

Members: $40 Non-Members: $50
ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED

Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest that began as a gold dust office in 1856. The Beekman Bank Museum saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold! Allow 30 minutes.

Those crafty Victorians! The Industrial Revolution meant increased leisure time for most upper and middle class Victorians, but leisure did not mean idleness. To forestall the mischief that Satan found for idle hands, you were expected to use your leisure time to pursue something useful and productive—that was also recuperative and relaxing! In other words, you found a hobby. Victorian costumed docents will talk about popular hobbies of the late 1800s—sports, games, dog breeding, music, art and more—and the personal activities, collections, and crafts of the Beekmans, Jacksonville’s wealthiest and most prominent pioneer family.
