Pastels Class Starts on April 22 at Life Enrichment Center

From officials at the Life Enrichment Center:

The Life Enrichment Center is registering now for a new class for adults called Pastels: Pure and Simple Fun. 

Whether you never tried pastels in your life, or you want to take your pastel painting to the next level, this class is for you. You will learn the basics of this wonderful medium and techniques to take your work from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Since pastels are made from pigment (just like acrylic, oil and watercolor), but made into solid sticks, you will be amazed at the painterly quality you can achieve and the brilliant colors to use at your fingertips since there is no mixing. Demonstrations, lots of individual attention, and lots of fun.

The class meets on Mondays from April 22 through June 10 from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m., and is open to all levels. The class meets at the Life Enrichment Center, 9704 North Boulevard, Tampa. Cost for the class is $150 for Life Enrichment Center members or $175 for non-members. Annual membership starts at $30.

Award winning artist Lorraine Potocki teaches the class. Her medium, pastels, allows her to capture the beauty of Florida's beaches, wildlife, and environment. She has exhibited her work widely throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond. Potocki graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Fine Arts and Education and continues to use both areas of expertise in her career.

Class size is limited and requires advance registration.  To register or for more information about this or other Life Enrichment Center classes, call (813) 932-0241 or visit their web site at www.LECtampa.org.
