April show at Art Center Ukiah: ‘Re-Use It’

April 22 is Earth Day. Art Center Ukiah is celebrating in the way that works best for a community-focused art center… by hosting an art show that addresses the topic…for the entire month.

A free-to-the-public art workshop is scheduled on April 22. The class will be a repeat of last year’s enormously popular Ukrainian pysanky eggs, taught by Laura Fogg. The process is successive colors applied over a wax resist, similar to the making of batik, but done on blown eggs instead of fabric. The designs on the eggs can be traditional or innovative, copied or totally freeform. In spite of the seemingly intricate results, this process is beginner-friendly and appropriate for children over the age of 10.

The First Friday opening celebration will be on April 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. Live music will be provided throughout the evening by Steve Hahm. Art Center Ukiah is located in the back of the Corner Gallery at 201 S. State St. in Ukiah.
