An upcoming drawing class led by local artist and musician Jim Eikenberry at the Fulton County Public Library is free to attend and open to ages 16 and older of all skill levels.
The Fulton County Public Library offers a free drawing class from 1-3 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Rochester branch.
Local artist and musician Jim Eikenberry will be the instructor. Jim attended the Fort Wayne Art Institute/IU for more than four years studying drawing, painting and design, and earning a bachelor's degree in fine art. He was one of the only students to earn a degree majoring in drawing. He now owns and operates The Mill Creek Studio, where he creates and sells original fine art.
Eikenberry has shown in numerous exhibitions and competitions across the state, including the Clark Gallery at the Honeywell Center in Wabash, where he was awarded first place in the annual 92 County Art Show's drawing category.
The drawing class is open to ages 16 and older, all levels of expertise, but especially beginners who want to improve their draftsmanship, values and shading, and increase the level of realism in their work. This class is a part of the Fulton County Public Library Makerspace program, which works to provide skill-building classes in the arts and technology and is funded by an Arts Project Support grant through the Indiana Arts Commission.
To register for the class or learn more, call FCPL Makerspace Director Erica Coffing at 574-223-1015 or the Rochester branch at 574-223-2713.
Activities are made possible in part by the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County, and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
