Welcome to the Greenfield Garden Club
Serving all of Franklin County, Massachusetts, and beyond.
Please join us at one of our many meetings - and bring a friend!

GOLDEN BIRCH - our chosen painting project

March Meeting: Thursday, March 19th
Time: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Whiteman Room, St James' Episcopal Church, Church St, Greenfield
Event: Wine and Canvas Painting event
Presenter: Wine and Canvas of Western MA
Fee: $35 covers all materials and instruction
 
The Greenfield Garden Club and St James' Episcopal Church are joining efforts to offer a fun evening of painting, eating, drinking, and general merriment! Each participant will go home with their own copy of the above painting, GOLDEN BIRCH. If you have participated in a similar Wine and Canvas painting class previously, you will know that you are free to change the colors, add or subtract elements, or paint something completely different on your canvas. Add a few wildflowers and a song bird with a nest - or a squirrel or rabbit - change the background - let your imagination run wild!
In order to sign up for the class, you have several options. You can sign up directly on the Private Events calendar webpage using a credit card. You may also contact the club by emailing greenfieldgardenclub@yahoo.com, and then send a check made out to the Greenfield Garden Club to the club treasurer Jean Wall, 40 High St, Greenfield, MA 01301. If there are spaces left the night of the event, please contact the club by email with your intent to participate, and then you may pay at the door. Please encourage a friend to come with you. Space is limited, so consider signing up early to save your seat.
Check out their gallery on Facebook to see the many photos of a previous event featuring this painting. You'll be able to  see how the actual painting progresses.
Aprons will be provided, but feel free to also dress casually to preserve your better clothing.  I am sure they are water-based paints.
All participants are encouraged to bring finger food and beverage to share. The club will provide small paper plates, napkins, and hot/cold drink cups. If you bring wine and prefer a wine glass, please feel free to bring those along too!
Let the merriment begin!
Directions: The church sits at the corner of Church and Federal streets in Greenfield. If you turn up Church from Federal, take a right just past the parish hall and park behind the parish hall. There will be signs - you can enter the Whiteman Room from the parking lot.
