Faux Finish Workshops with Artist Cindy Norris

Please join me at Highlands Garden Cafe for an informative class covering the basics of “how to create a successful faux finish”. I’ll provide recipes and printed guidelines to follow that will allow you to complete your home or office project with a professional look and style.

Topics covered will range from color selections, glaze mixing, quality products, tools, and the faux techniques best suited for your type of wall textures. Bring your home or office project questions and photographs to the class for discussion on possible design choices.

I’ll demonstrate glazing techniques and assist with your hands-on glazing experience so you’ll be able to go home and begin your DIY project.

The Chamber Players celebrates Bach’s 325th birthday with two of his most extraordinary mature works: Art of the Fugue and Goldberg Variations. The master Bach continually arranged his keyboard works for other combinations. The clarity of the separate instruments lends itself to hearing the distinct voices in Bach’s masterpieces, often lost when performed on keyboard instruments. Bach originally wrote the Aria and 30 Variations as a commission for Count Kaiserling, an insomniac kept awake with painful neuralgia. Kaiserling’s court musician Johann Goldberg was instructed to play Bach’s Variations to soothe his employer- often at 3 a.m.! Art of the Fugue was written near the end of Bach’s life, and is an exceptional compilation of fugues and canons.
