Dear Members, Patrons, and Friends,
We welcome everyone to our meetings. We have many important issues to discuss and we would like input from all of our members. We have shows coming up and we have need for many Crafts for our Christmas show of which Yuki Hall is in charge. I know that we have many who do crafts other than painting. We encourage you to display those talents also.
Also for a reminder. Sue and I have been involved with the Sweet Corn Festival for 25 years. In the past year I have logged everything that is involved with my job. Many are simple half-hour jobs during the year. Only when it gets time for festival does work really get hectic. Over the years we have refined many processes down to where there is very little work compared to way it was when we took on these jobs. If you and/or a friend would like to get involved, we are here to help. You must be on board by July. Remember this festival is what keeps the membership rates low. It pays for building rent, scholarships, speakers, entertainment and much more. If this money doesn’t come in, then the membership dues will need to be doubled or more to keep the organization going.

Pat Dunker, our Workshop Chair, asked Sandy Maudlin for a breakdown on her plans for the 5-day Yupo workshops. In Sandy’s words:
My plan is to introduce as many techniques and processes as possible in the 5 days. Below I’ve broken the workshop up with pictures to show the processes that I’ll be using during the workshop. I hope this helps give you some idea of what to explain to the artists. (Editor’s note: Pictures are available on our website, www.fairbornart.org. )
Introduction to Yupo – 3-day workshop
We will be working with fluid acrylics and watercolors during this 3-day workshop. Sandy will demo several of the processes she uses to create colorful paintings on Yupo. Each artist will create their own, one-of-a-kind painting as Sandy guides with suggestions on composition and technique. See examples of the processes to be demoed and taught below (on our website) during the first 3 days.
Advanced techniques on YUPO – 2-day workshop
Excitement prevails as each artist develops paintings using many more advanced techniques on Yupo. Both watercolor and fluid acrylics as well gouache can be used. Sandy’s demos will provide a basis for exploration and development of your own painting, incorporating your style using new approaches. Experience using Yupo is recommended for this level. See examples below of possibilities (on our website).

Charles and Mary Hart
Charlie had a bad fall in April and fractured his neck. He was in the hospital for quite a while and was eventually released to rehab. After two months in rehab, Charlie returned home last month (August). He is still unable to walk alone, and Mary is providing all his care while she is trying to find someone to come in to help with Charlie’s care from time to time. He does receive therapy at home, but of course that does not give Mary a break. I know they would enjoy cards from their FAA friends.
