The Color of Ideas Community Arts Center (TCOI), located just off the Square at 207 E. Tyler Street in Athens, announces a new Leather Tooling Class to begin the first Saturday in July at 9:30am. Taught by Larry Sherrod, the hour and a half class will cost $20 plus materials. All tools will be provided. The first project will be a belt. Larry is an amazing artist. If leather work interests you, don’t miss this class!

Also beginning at TCOI this July: Saturday Portrait Classes with Blake. The only materials required for this class are a large drawing pad, a pencil, an eraser, and a simple 8″x10″ black and white photocopy of the portrait you want to draw! Classes will meet from 10am to 11am on Saturdays and will only cost $10! For more details contact The Color of Ideas on facebook or stop by TCOI between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday. While you’re there a look at Blake’s remarkable work. (The large drawing in the window at TCOI of Bane from Dark Knight Rising is by Blake!)

If you are interested in meeting people and learning something new at the same time, here’s your chance, Athens!
