A great event took place in September at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, where visual art came alive during the Alexandria Festival of the Arts. Artists demonstrated throughout the day pottery on the wheel, drawing, bubble glass making, beading, spinning, weaving, knitting, limestone carving, etching, and much more. Visitors could try their hand at different art techniques including clay throwing, sculpture, and fiber art at special "Try Me" stations.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mylovelybeads.com/images/gallery/2009ArtActivated/2009ArtActivated3.jpg" target="_blank/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.mylovelybeads.com/images/gallery/2009ArtActivated/2009ArtActivated3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Hands-on projects also included Champagne Cork Chairs workshop, Bubble Gum painting, Create Your Own Button workshop, Screen printing workshop, Mask Making workshop and so on. Lots of fun for both, adults and kids! <br /><br />Some pictures: <strong><a href="http://www.mylovelybeads.com/php/gallery/previewGallery.php?num=1&key=2009ArtActivated" target=_blank>Art Activated</a></strong><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Button BEGIN --><br /><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" target="_blank" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);"><img border="0" width="125" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" height="16"/></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'georgegutin';</script><script src="http://s9addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Button END --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2659657613484387737-7147152190706588033?l=mylovelybeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zoya Gutinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15270005110668707209noreply@blogger.com0
