“Show & Tell” – Jette Monahan

Program – Marsha Foust with “Creative Moves” Creating game pieces that tell a story.

        Marsha Foust has many years making over 30 chess sets from clay. Each side of the board has a unifying story, contrasting but unified with the other side.

        1. We will view several of these sets and explore the themes in each set.

        2. With only paper and pencil, original chess set themes will be explored and expressed by the audience members.

Please bring your drawing pad and pencil. We are going to have fun!

Remember that EVAA is run by volunteers. Please step up and help us out in order to continue providing these great opportunities for fellow artists in our community.                                      Sincerely, Jette Monahan EVAA President
