“Under the spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stand.” Pick up a hammer and hear the anvil ring!!! Metal Artist Bonnie Wynn Ramirez will introduce you to the joys of hammering and twisting glowing-hot steel into a piece of art. You’ll learn basic metalsmithing techniques and leave with your own piece of forged steel.
Middle-aged grandmother, Bonnie Ramirez, decided to have a “Mid-Life Emancipation” instead of a crisis. Trading her contractor’s hardhat for a welding torch, she went back to school thinking she might learn to” weld some metal stuff for the house.” Not only did she learn to weld, but she discovered her passion for fire could be channeled into artistic expression that would launch not only a new career but an amazing life experience. Almost accidentally, she began selling her work after completing her first Art Metals class; completely surprised at the requests she received for commissioned pieces in both the public and private sector. She also entered the unique world of Art Gallery Exhibitions, a strangely foreign and mystically exciting world with exotic inhabitants and it’s own language and religion.
After being the first woman to earn the Art Metals degree in Welding Technology at Austin Community College, Bonnie was hired by the college and taught Art Metals classes while earning a second interdisciplinary degree in Art and Applied Science From Texas State University. Bonnie also taught at Laguna Gloria, Austin Museum of Art, the Dougherty Art center and several other independent studios in Austin before relocating to Indiana to be near her children and grandchildren. The newly opened Flame Arts Studio in Indianapolis represents the inception of her desire to draw other “fire-y” artists into a supportive, cooperative community.

PAINTING
Art heals, informs, transforms and inspires. Come try your hand at painting nudes in pastels with Indiana legend, Nancy Noël.

Sensitive portraits of animals and Amish children made Noël a household name. The intimacy of the Amish children portrayed is not seen in mainstream American culture. In contrast, the African series demonstrates a unique versatility bringing us face to face with the haunting charisma of a diminishing culture. Nancy’s angelic messengers float ethereally on canvas, all asking the viewer to see beyond the paintings into another dimension; encouraging us closer to our divinity in celebration of who we are. Whether you have painted before or not – come learn the fundamentals of painting. Also, if you have that piece that you are stuck on or want critiqued – feel free to bring it to class.
