Artist to give vase painting class in Colerain
The Groesbeck Library in Colerain has invited an artist to teach people how to paint decorative vases.
The Peruvian Vase Painting Class is an event where aspiring artists can learn dot painting techniques from an experienced instructor. The activity is part of the Cincinnati Public Library’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. Attendees will discover how to use painting as an active meditation technique that helps with their relaxation and concentration. Participants will draw mandalas on their vases, which are circular patterns that have been used in art therapy for meditation.
The instructor for the class is Raquel Sotelo, a Peruvian artist who hosts community art lessons at several libraries throughout Ohio. She has offered similar vase painting courses at the North Central Branch Library and the Price Hill Library. Sotelo has also taught people how to paint terra cotta pots and rocks. Some of her work can be purchased on Etsy through Heartfelt Tidbits. Sotelo used to teach art programs to women in Peru and currently offers lessons to children and teens in Cincinnati.
The vase painting lesson will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, September 24th from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Those interested in joining the event can join the waitlist for anyone who drops out or register for future similar events. The activity is intended for adults and will be offered in English. Artists who lead similar projects to this may bring custom business cards to their class to share with interested students.
