TAPPING INTO CREATIVITY

TAKE YOUR ARTISTIC TALENTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL THIS SUMMER .
By TANYA A . YACINA

Whether putting brush to canvas to re-create a scenic landscape or molding clay into a mug or flowerpot , there ’ s something soothing about getting lost in a creative pursuit . And it can be rewarding to see the finished product hanging on your wall or displayed on a table , knowing you made it .

For those who aren ’ t sure where to start , or who want to improve their skills , a vast array of beginner to expert classes are presented by the local art community throughout the summer — and some yearround — allowing residents and visitors the chance to discover their own inner Van Gogh or Michelangelo .
