Ruth Korch is now an OG vendor!
Hey Moms, Ruth is a lovely woman and very skilled artist, who sometimes writes and speaks for SoulKitchen Bible studies and women's retreats! I wish I could take a class with her myself! But if any of you are looking for an art teacher, she would be wonderful, and you would be supporting someone related to the Vintage community. : )

WATERCOLOR
Learning to paint with watercolors is a skill your children can enjoy the rest of their lives. Because it's fast and easily transportable they can paint quick scenes out in nature or on vacations. It's equally suited to detailed or loose expression. It's one of the purest mediums we can use, but it also can be one of the most challenging. In this 6 week course your child will be introduced to secrets that make watercolors "sing". They will learn basic techniques, followed by projects that offer opportunities to use them in a fun way.
Cooper, our shaggy white dog, is my mascot and loves to welcome children to our home where they will learn in a safe and happy setting. This class for ages 9 & up will meet Wednesday afternoons, 3:00-4:30 for 6 weeks. Class size is 3-8 students and runs September 7, 14, 21 & October 5, 12, 19.
RATES:
Private Lessons (1-2 students) $45/1.5 hours
Group Lessons (3-8 students) $30/1.5 hours ($180/ 6 wk introductory course)
Materials Fee: $25 (once children have some of the basic supplies, materials fee will go down in future classes)
PET PORTRAITS
Children love animals and this 3 week class offers an opportunity for them to create a 16 x 20 acrylic painting of their favorite animal. The course teaches drawing, canvas preparation and painting skills.
Wednesdays: 3:00 - 4:30, Nov 2, 9 & 16
Cost: $90 and $25 materials fee (total - $115)
I have a degree in Fine Art and currently teach art classes at Live Oak Academy, a home school co-op in San Jose. I am a working artist doing commissions and exhibiting in Santa Cruz Open Studios. I also teach calligraphy classes at Palace Arts in Capitola. You can see my work at http://www.ruthkorch.com%3chttp//www.Ruthkorch.com>. I welcome your thoughts and questions: mailto:ruthkorch@gmail.com%3Cmailto:ruthkorch@gmail.com>. For enrollment, please contact both me and your ES.

Vintage Homeschool Moms Back to School Party!
Hello all!
So, it is that time again. Can you believe it? I thought it would be fun again to have a party/open house to celebrate the start of the new school year. Since most of us can no longer make Mondays, I was thinking we would have it there at church on Friday August 26th instead, at our normal time of noon-2:30.
I am checking with the church to make sure we can use the building at that time. But even if the church classroom is not available, let's keep the time and date on our calendars and we will make it a park date instead, ok? Check here for any changes, but if you don't see an UPDATE to this post, that means the original plan to meet at church is a go. : )
So, either place we meet, bring a lunch for your family and a food item to share with the group!
Also, talk to your kids about your goals for this Fall, and have each kid come up with one learning goal they have that they can share with the group (or one thing they are going to be learning about that they are excited about, like dinosaurs or handwriting or something).
And please spread the word and invite your friends!
