Birch tree cardinal doorhanger workshop offered in November

Create a birch tree/cardinal doorhanger at an upcoming workshop in November. The West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host the workshop, conducted by local artist Tara Shahan, offered Tuesday and Thursday, Nov. 14 and 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the West Plains Civic Center (Dogwood 1 & 2), located at 110 St. Louis St. in West Plains. The price for the workshop is $50, all supplies included.

The magic of the season will welcome your guests this holiday with this pretty snow cardinal birch tree scene on an 18" wood round doorhanger. Painted with acrylic paint.

Coordinator Tara Shahan was raised in a small town in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio until about the age of 12 when her family moved to Missouri. Her upbringing included being a member of 4-H, where most of her projects consisted of food, sewing and crafts taught by her mother, a 4-H leader. Tara won ribbons for her work at local and state fairs.  Her love of arts and crafts continued throughout her adult life and now she teaches workshops in the local area including north-central Arkansas. Her art includes acrylic painting on canvas and wood as well as other craft projects such as doorhangers, wreaths, faux stained glass and glass etching to name a few.  Tara now lives in West Plains and has conducted local art and craft workshops for the West Plains Council on the Arts for about 5 years.
