Arts course available to citizens 55 years and older

by Allison Wrye,

WPH Activities Director

Wyoming State Library, Lifetime Arts, Creative Aging and the Wyoming Pioneer Home (WPH) is pleased to announce our 2024 Program “Storytelling through Clay”. This 8-week course for individuals 55 years and older will draw inspiration from personal narratives and craft their own artistic creation. The final product will be displayed at the culminating art show. This class is offered free through a grant by Califa, Wyoming State Library and Lifetime Arts. We ask that attendance be a priority as each class will build upon what was learned at the last class. Our professional instructor Korinne Ryan has created a program that will teach air dry clay techniques, painting skills and provide a comfortable, happy social space. Classes will be Thursdays 2-3:30 p.m. starting September 5th. Class size is limited to 20 individuals. If interested, please sign up by calling or emailing a message with contact info to Allison Wrye, Wyoming Pioneer Home Activities Department, 307-864-6173, allison.wrye@wyo.gov. You may also sign up in person at the Wyoming Pioneer Home during normal business hours. We hope to see you there.
