Thursday After Dusk!

Hat and Heels Banquet April 28, 2010 and starts at 6:30 pm.  These are not your ordinary hats.  Hats, hats and more hats.  Pretty hats, funny hats, hats for Queens and hats for a Mad Hatters!  Prizes awarded for creativity.  It seems that every year the students get more inventive. I can not wait to see the newest hats.  You may ask, are hats and heels required?  Well, of course not, but come without a hat at your own risk!  Bring your camera; this will truly be a night to remember.  Fun, Food, Friends and Laughter. Anything can happen and this year is no exception.  We have great things planned for opening night.  There will be jokesters, games and prizes.

Instructors Sales  After the banquet the festivities continue. Enjoy the night sale put on by the instructors.  They will have patterns, dolls, frills and supplies. 

Friday Evening Up until Midnight!

Shoppers Madness Night!   You will delight in a bountiful supply of beads, yarns, patterns, doll making products, lace, trims and dolls and doll accessories. While you are in class on Friday the artist and vendors are setting up shop.  Sales open from 6-8:00pm Friday night, for AFIC participants only.  You have first choice!  You can shop on Saturday and Sunday but, isn’t it nice to know you get to touch everything before the public arrives?

Exhibit Room opens!   The exhibit room opens Friday night at 8:00pm.  Check out the exhibit and make sure your dolls are displayed properly before the grand opening on Saturday.

    

 Up till Midnight for Crazy Doll Makers.  

The class is free but you will be required to pay a $5.00 kit fee to cover the clubs materials. This is for crazy doll makers: you know who you are!  You can’t get enough fun and friends. The River City Figurative Artist Club, from Cincinnati, Ohio will be teaching a fun Make it and Take it doll, Sassy Sandi.  All levels of doll makers can participate.  It begins at 9:00 and goes till, well maybe not Midnight but you can stay up as long as like. Don’t miss the opportunity to have loads of fun and visit with friends.

NEW Saturday Late afternoon - Ice Cream Social 4-6pm

What could be more refreshing than to get out of class and have a Ice made to your specifications.  The Ice Cream Bar will be set up so you can make your own sundaes with Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry Ice Cream, Hot Fudge, Strawberry and Carmel sauces, Maraschino cherries, Pecans, M & M, cookies crumbs, sprinkles and whipped cream.  Sit down and visit with friends or stroll the artist and sales venue.  Shopping and Ice Cream what a great way to spend a few hours before the evening events. Various Demos of products and doll making will be going on during these hours.  I am always thinking up something new and wonderful to keep you jumping. 

Saturday Evening—Muses on the Prowl!  

  

Izzy Swap’m Night.8-9 or how ever long it last.  BRING YOUR STUFF. You know what stuff ! The stuff you got because you just had to have it, you still have it after 5 years and you still do not know what to do with it. That stuff!  Stuff you bought too much of. How about bringing the stuff you make like doll pins, soap or jewelry? Or what about the stuff you have out grown or stuff you love, but need to make space in your studio for more stuff. Someone wants your stuff.  I bet I would buy your stuff!  Sell your extra stuff so you can have money to buy some new stuff.  How about trading stuff?  Just think about it .

Silent Auction Every Day!

Silent Auction  The Silent auction supports the scholarships and miscellaneous expenses at AFIC.  We are giving out eight scholarships this year. We are proud that you care so much about others to give them this experience.  We are dividing the dolls up into three groups. It worked out great last AFIC. Bidders have several chances to win.  Bid in the Morning, at lunch and after classes.  Winners will be announced each day after classes.

Thank you for your Donations: I would like to thank you in advance for your donations. Your doll and doll items may bring money to the Silent Auction, but on a personal level they support the individual artist.  Past students who have received these scholarship and have felt extremely lucky that other artists have made this possible for them to attend.  We too are proud that we have such a strong community  that cares about others.—Thank you so much Cyndy Sieving
