Papier mache class set for March 1

The public is invited to learn the ancient art of papier mache-making in the next Folkcraft class in the Union Museum of History and Art on Saturday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Artist Lindsay Carraway will teach students the step-by-step process of planning the art piece—a Mardi Gras mask—building the basic form, gluing layers of paper, and finishing by painting and embellishing. Participants will complete their own masks which they can take home. The fee of $25 includes all materials. To register for the class, call the museum at 318-982-8020. Class size will be limited. The museum is located at 211 N. Main Street, Farmerville.
Carraway is a practicing artist whose works are displayed in regional museums and galleries. “As an artist, for me, the most rewarding thing is to know that I have a voice through the lens of art,” she said in a recent interview with Canvas Rebel.
