Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Artists will learn new techniques that may carry over to their art career. Expand what they do to include a new medium. This workshop in porcelain painting will provide something that is not readily taught in this area. Bring a variety of new exhibits with finished projects. Finished projects will be displayed at North Country Arts and Crafts Workshop and at Gallery North in Bemidji. Each painter can provide information on the new skills they have learned, brush strokes they may have learned, knowledge gathered about operation of a kiln. Ways they may implement their new knowledge into other art projects they are involved in. We will collect surveys. Asking for the likes and dislikes of the participants. Suggestions for improvements.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Northern Artist Association believes that the Porcelain Painting Workshop with Nancy Eagleson had a favorable impact on the community. Our talk back session was very positive. The participants felt they had learned a lot in the time provided. Paper surveys were positive. Projects were painted and fired, enabling each participant to take home more than one completed project. Pieces were displayed at Gallery North and will be displayed at the Northwoods Art/Craft Workshop at Concordia Language Village in September.
