Greetings, artists, friends of the factory, n’ other cool folks!

Just a quick note to let everyone know we’ve canceled our Third Friday Artscrawl event. We’re in the process of making the Factory show lineup an even more exciting experience, and we’ve decided to put the Third Friday events on hold for now.

This does NOT affect special shows that might happen to occur on Third Friday (specially scheduled events). It just affects the regular Artscrawl Third Friday events.

Note: Our First Friday event schedule has not changed! Just the Third Friday event schedule has.

What does the term “resolutions” mean to you? Is it positive? Negative? How does the word itself make you react. What about conceptually?

In January, the Factory on 5th is hosting a themed show called RESOLUTIONS.

If you’d like to participate, you’ll need to paint, sketch, collage, build, or otherwise create an entry (or entries) which explore the theme. You may submit work in any medium. There are no rules about interpretation, either. Just do whatever feels right for the theme.

The show fee is $28.00, plus 20% commission.

Tea Appreciation

Tea has been enjoyed for thousands of years. From the high mountain Oolong of China and Taiwan to the dark, robust Indian Assam and delicate African Honeybush - the consumption of true tea and herbal tea is meditative, relaxing, invigorating, and reflective. Tea brings health benefits and stress relief. It’s used as medicine, as a beauty product, and even in art and douse cleaning. Delve into this lush class, which offers you the chance to taste, sample and discuss tea from all over the world. It’s an ideal class for those seeking something beyond supermarket tea bags, or for those wanting to learn more about (or to sample) world teas. Proper brewing methods, tea tasking, tea grading, and even some tea tales will be discussed.

Note: $10 materials fee due to the instructor at the first class.

Saturday, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM;
3 sessions starting February 16, 2008, ending March 1, 2008
