The Heart of Carolina Tolers is one of our chapters of the Society of Decorative Painters. This year I am serving as president and looking forward to a year of painting with all of our members. Each month, except when we have a seminar scheduled, one of the members teaches a project to the group.
In Feb I'm teaching my Rose Collage Bag. Again, Gail's beautiful papers along with photos of the New Dawn rose outside my back door were the inspiration for my Rose Collage Bag. I was very pleased with the results.
Our club meets every 3rd Saturday of the month in Durham. If you aren't a member already, we would love for you to visit us and you will probably want to join our group. To be a member of a local chapter you must be a member of the Society of Decorative Painters. If you are a decorative artist you should be a member of the society if you aren't already. As well as supporting the art that we love, you receive a excellent journal four times a year with great painting project lessons and all the scoop about decorative painting.
