Nancy Kiltz's "Melon Basket" Class
was a TOTAL SUCCESS!
(Nancy is in periwinkle on the right)
Our Back Door Studio is the perfect setting for all the exciting, fun-filled, expertly led art and craft classes that are held there.
Not only is the atmosphere comfortable, bright, and welcoming, but students leave with new or enhanced artistic skills, completed projects, and warm friendships.
Thanks to our Back Door Studio Coordinator, Claudia Herber, (on the left in orange) who makes it all happen!
Thank you David Bates for your wonderful article, "Aaron Akers: ‘The Bob Ross of Oregon’",
featuring Currents Gallery, our Artists and our Back Door Studio Classes.
The team at Currents Gallery truly appreciates the work done by David and Oregon Artswatch to showcase
the immense talent surrounding us. Fiber artist, Ilsa Perse, who subscribes to Oregon Artswatch, says,
"It’s a non-profit organization that covers lots of exciting 'stuff' going on all over the state."
Aaron Akers is indeed our very own Bob Ross, plus so much more! Sign up here to learn to paint with Aaron!

Katy is pictured here in front of the show's featured wall displaying several of her amazing pieces along with the work of many other local fiber artists. The show will be on display through October 10th.
Each piece is made of commercial, hand-dyed, hand-printed fabric, or vintage kimono fabric; is machine pieced and fused, machine appliqued and quilted, or hand beaded and quilted.
This annual show is curated by Currents' own Fiber Artist, Ilsa Perse.
