On Saturday, June 29 from 11 am to 4 pm, visiting artist Diana Moses Botkin is offering an oil painting class for beginners at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown.  Oil paints are a wonderful, forgiving medium.

The cost is $72 with students bringing their own supplies of purchasing from the instructor. Registrations must be received by June 22.
