Soup and An Art Show
All FAA members and friends are invited to help support the Soup and Art Show to be held on October 26, by hand building bowls to be sold at the event. You only need hands, washable clothes, the ability to play (in clay) and a desire to help others. All materials will be provided as well as examples to inspire you and a few simple basics of working with clay to guarantee success.
Come to the Fairborn Art Association Gallery on Thursday, September 12 (time up to you if scheduled in advance), and/or Saturday, September 14, 10-2, to make the bowls. After they are fired and ready to be glazed you can return on Thursday, October 10 (3-8 pm) and/or Saturday, October 12, (10-2) for the glazing. Old clothes, shoes, and an old apron will be helpful as some glazes are staining. The clay will wash out easily. The bowls will be fired again and will be available for sale at the Soup and Art Show.
To join the fun at the clay and glaze tables please call Dora Lawson or email her at [email protected]. Please put FAA soup bowls in the subject so I do not miss you. Also indicate which dates you will come and the time, if on Thursday.

Fine Arts Tent at Sweet Corn Festival
After a 3- or 4-year absence, the FAA members’ fine arts tent was back at the Sweet Corn Festival this year. Many people came through to look, buy, and learn about our group. I want to thank everyone who helped with the tent in every way, from Clarice Moore who gave us the idea and brought many people to the tent by offering her caricature drawings, to Jane Trame for sharing her notes on running the tent and helping to staff it, to all the members and four husbands who helped set up the artwork and take it down. Thanks to all the members who brought in works for sale and sat in the tent to sell our offerings. We did sell a painting, several prints, and many purses! Besides the caricatures, we had two other members demonstrating their painting techniques, Tom Hock and Cass Barth. Other members who offered their work for sale and/or volunteered in the tent were Gayle and Robert Beireis, Susan Bertke, Sue Brezine, Misuk Goltz (and Mark), Yuki Hall, Teiko Hawkins (and Jerry), Cora Newell (and Jeff), Mary Peirano, Connie Webber (and Don), and Mayumi Kiefer’s husband, Steve. Thanks to you all. It was a great opportunity and a fun weekend. —Submitted by Dora Lawson
