TIFTON, TGA - News release from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

A Bottles and Brushes art class featuring Dottie Bassett will take place on April 27 from 6-9 p.m. at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.  Participants will be painting her original piece, “In The Breeze”.

“We have scheduled two April classes with Dottie,” Polly Huff, Museum Gallery Coordinator from the ABAC Arts Connection, said.   

“The April 20 class is already sold out, and we are currently filling seats in the April 27 class. Participants in both classes will be recreating her original work.”

Bassett will serve as the guest instructor for this class and will guide participants through the process of recreating the artwork.

“We are excited to feature Dottie as this month’s guest instructor for Bottles & Brushes,” said Huff.  

“Class participants will also be able to view the current gallery exhibit, ‘Diminutive Dwellings’, which features her tremendous collection of handmade and antique doll houses, carriages, and dolls.”

Participants at Bottles and Brushes can bring their favorite beverage while enjoying an evening of creativity and fun. 

The Gallery at the Museum will provide the paint, canvas and brushes, all adding up to an exciting evening with friends.

There is a fee of $25 per person for the class or $40 for a couple. Participants must register ahead of time by contacting Huff at (229) 391-5222 or by emailing her at phuff@abac.edu.  Space is limited so be sure to register early.

Companies who are looking for a unique team-building experience or looking to reward exceptional employees can participate in the corporate edition of Bottles and Brushes.  

The corporate Bottles and Brushes painting will be custom-tailored to fit each company’s mascot, theme, or idea.

Huff said the Bottles and Brushes series will offer a class at least once a month.  Gift certificates are available for future classes.
