Stained glass for the project will be provided.

On June 24, Sarah Dixon is back at Dogwood Exchange. She will be holding a goat soap making class from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. In the class, Dixon will hold a step-by-step demonstration of the cold process method of soap making.
Class – Goat soap.
The cost is $30 per person. Students will receive a complete ingredients/materials list plus, “a wonderful bar of goat’s milk soap will be included with the class.”
“Her last class sold out so register early,” said the Exchange.
In another cool class, Susan Smathers is offering an alcohol ink class. According to the Exchange, Smathers began learning about alcohol inks four years ago and she enjoyed the way they moved differently than other types of paints.
Class – Alcohol Ink.
“In this class, students get to try alcohol inks on photo paper, yupo paper and metal,” said the Exchange. “A few of the techniques that will be involve plastic wrap, sponges and stencils. Learning how the inks move and interact is part of the fun. Each person can be so creative with alcohol inks whether you like abstracts or more realist artwork. Beginners are welcome.”
The class will be held June 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m and all supplies will be provided with the $35 class fee.
“If students have any alcohol inks they particularly like, they can bring them to the class,” said the Exchange.
