Art Club Bottle Paintings

"Witch, Frankenstein, and Vampire"

" Jack and Sally Hand Painted Bottles"

Halloween is still two weeks away and the art club has already had tremendous success with the bottle paintings. The artclub has made over 75 bottles total and have sold all but 7. There are three sets of Jack and Sallys and one pumpkin left. Wow. Thanks to everyone for your suppport.

"Hand Painted Bottles- Great for Halloween Vases or Decoration"

Art Club- Pumpkin bottles and more for sale. The art club is selling hand painted bottles for Halloween this year. We are adding a witch, vampire, and Frankenstein. Look for each hand painted face. We have over 12 different bottle varieties.

The Art Club members have been working hard for their fundraiser this year in hopes to raise enough money for a field trip to art galleries in Pittsburgh. You can purchase a bottle by contacting Ms. Miller at the highschool or one of the art club members. The bottles are $4. each. We will have a display at the elementary and highschool during open house Oct. 7-8. We look forward to seeing you soon.
