Create your own Mason Jar Welcome Sign at this workshop April 14! West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host the workshop, conducted by local artist Tara Hensley, on Tuesday, April 14, 2020, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the West Plains Senior Center. Cost for the workshop is $30, all supplies included.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and wouldn’t this be a great gift for mom? Mom has so many beautiful flowers growing in her backyard, so I am sure that she will always keep something beautiful in the Mason jar. Whether you hang this outdoors, on a wall inside, or give as a gift, it will be a great rustic addition to any home! Sign and jar will be hand painted. Protective sealant will be applied. Measures approximately 8” x 20”.
Tara Hensley was raised in a small town in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio until about the age of 12. Her upbringing included being a member in the Patchworkers 4-H club, where most of her projects consisted of food, sewing and crafts taught by her mother, a 4-H leader. Hensley won ribbons for her work at local and state fairs, including an award for Outstanding of the Day at the Ohio State Fair. Hensley now lives in West Plains.
“For the most part I have created things for my own home but now have decided to share those things that I create and cherish so much,” says Hensley. “My passion is for what they are calling these days – rustic, primitive and farmhouse. Most of my items have been upcycled from a vintage piece or made from a common household item. This is what inspires me. Of course, I love frequenting vintage re-sale shops and antique stores for my inspirations, so most items that I make are pre-loved and show wear. DIY is a way of life in the Midwest. Thou art blessed who “rescues” unwanted items; her husband may be embarrassed but her projects are incredible!”
