Develop your inner artist by creating a uniquely painted glass jar! In this creative painting workshop, participants will choose from a selection of glass jars (with lids) to paint. Chris will have lots of painting design ideas, so everyone will have their own unique jar when finished. Chris even has templates to use for those who are just beginner painters.
These painted jars can be used for many things: candy jar, tea storage, pet treats, money stash, unique gift, even a flower vase... There are many creative ways to use your uniquely painted glass jar. You’ll be able to enjoy the process and the jar for a long time to come.

More about Chris Knotts Pettman:
"For as long as I can remember, I have been creative. As a child, I crafted wreaths, macrame hangers, and pillow tops and regularly sold them to family and friends. For over 30 years, I taught many different Girl Scout troops, day camps, events, etc., where my mother and I were usually elbow deep in fun crafts for all ages. While I do not really have a main medium, I enjoy many things such as scrapbooking, quilting and sewing, acrylic and watercolor painting, wreath making, windchimes, and most recently, making fun and stylish gnomes. After retiring from Girl Scouts, I began teaching creativity classes, and I am thrilled so many people enjoy this fun pastime like I do. My favorite quote is by Salvador Dali “A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” I think that is the best part, to inspire others to find the joy in developing their inner artist."
