Help Shape Fairfield Art Association’s Upcoming Art Classes

What would you like to create this fall and winter? The Fairfield Art Association is planning classes with local artists and invites community members to share their interests and preferred meeting times.

Possibilities include holiday glass painting, jewelry trees, mixed media, fiber art and pastels. FAA is also developing a “Meet the Masters” water-mixable oil painting class with Anastasia Weigert.

“Meet the Masters” with Anastasia Weigert

FAA has announced a two-day water-mixable oil painting offering for November and December. Dates, fees and additional details are coming soon.
