Work session at the art center

Today a group of people got together at the art center to work on the space. This wasn't the first day we worked but it was the first formal work session with a whole group and boy did we get a lot done. Here are some before pix:



The men's bathroom is in rough shape thanks to a flood. Dave and a friend pulled out bad carpet and tile - here you see a re-leveled floor ready for new tile.
The ductwork in the main room was covered with camo netting (the space was last used as a military surplus store. One wall was painted army drab. I wasn't fast enough to capture the front partition wall when it was green or the camo painted reception desk.

Back room area - there will be lockable storage cubbies built here and the kilns will also be back here (glass and ceramic)

Volunteer painters at work!

Green wall getting less green

Much less green! By the end of the day the green was almost completely gone.

Next work session - Monday at 10am - if you have time come in grubbies prepared to help - we'll be painting a second coat among other things.
