Going Inward with Sounds & Vibrations with Prairiewoods
<p>Experience sound, stillness, playfulness and relaxation through the enigmatic vibrations of Himalayan and crystal singing bowls. During this hour over Zoom, Kathy Broghammer will lead us to connect with our inner selves through the song of bowls. We will be invited to sit or lie down to listen and just be. We will hear the sounds and feel the vibrations of the singing bowls going inward. Let’s let our souls rest and allow ourselves to be recreated! The cost is $10 per session. For more information or to register for the Zoom link, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

Hand-washing time is integrated into the camp schedule, and new hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the studio.</p><p>Face coverings are required for all campers and camp staff. High-use surface areas and restrooms will be cleaned throughout the day and thoroughly disinfected after camp each day. Our camp staff will participate in additional education and training on Covid-19 strategies.</p><p>Our Storybook Clay Camps are 3-day camps are designed for the littles, aged 5-8. Through this Summer Camp series, we have been connecting creativity and literacy for over 10 years!

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris
<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint. This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-06-22 16:00:00 -0500

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris
<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint. This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-06-23 16:00:00 -0500
