Richards This is the time of year, people start looking for something special for Christmas Christmas presents. One of the best ways to beat the torture of shopping malls is to make your gilts. How? With super easy lessons in preparing folk art, that's how. Where? There is a folk art studio hidden away in Orono at 86 Church St., that is filled to capacity with lots of exciting gift ideas, paints, paper and other folk art supplies. The delightful bonus is the woman in charge of the studio--Joyce Rosseau. Joyce is friendly and knowledgeable in folk art. She has been dabbling in it for several years now and has begun to become known for her artistic flair. "I started because it is something to do with my hands," she said recently. "I wanted a challenge. I like to cook as well and nave always cared about the presentation. presentation. I guess the folk art is just a continuance of'my creativity." Joyce started nine years ago getting into the folk art area of handicrafts and then decided to teach. "My husband has been supportive of my teaching. He said, "you've got to have decent surroundings." So he put up shelves for products, and fixed up a studio studio for her. From there the ball rolled outwards. She's now at the point where she admits she probably probably needs more space. But she doesn't think going to a storefront is for her. She enjoys the small stu dio and the smallness of her classes. "You meet the nicest people people this way and everyone enjoys each other." Through teaching she has found out how to change clients' clients' attitudes about their creativity. "I know how clients will say that they can't do something. something. If they want something something badly enough, they can ao it. "People have to want to do this. Some have taken to it like a duck to water." Joyce enjoys teaching and painting and is always on the lookout for a new challenge. challenge. In fact, she even takes classes herself. "There is so much to learn," she said. As for looking for challenges, challenges, Joyce is "always noticing noticing colors and different ways of doing things. "With folk art, you never feel you've done everything." The market is opening wide with new products the time with a vast range of colors, materials, and ideas, she said. "And the products and equipment are reliable," she added. One of the big challenges is learning tricks around problems which can and do slow people down. Problems which seem insurmountable insurmountable can usually be dealt with in a quick and easy manner. And then one can get back into what one is creating. "This is a good way to forget forget about your troubles. I think of it as being mental health therapy." And it seems that a lot of people agree with her because because she is running out of aft space in her studio. However, she is running classes this fall for everyone to get involved in. Her students students range from the cautious cautious beginner to the ones who simply want more of a challenge. She's got plenty of projects for all of them. If you're worried about how her products affect the environment, she has started started looking at ways to utilize reusable items in her classes. classes. She is conscious about how chemicals can affect people because she has problems problems with some types of chemicals herself. "My paints are non-toxic, there are no heavy metals in them," she said. The paints she uses are water-based and can be washed from brushes, sponges and hands with soap and water. However, there are some types of products she uses which do come in aerosol cans. "I don't use them on a regular basis, though. And only when in a well- ventilated area. "I tell my students to treat the aerosol can products products with respect." And respect she gives them. The choice of projects she has for her students also reflects reflects her thoughtfulness in preparing for the classes she teaches. Her beginner classes offer choices on two different items to make while learning learning and developing the skills required. Her intermediate classes will be looking towards learning new skills and techniques. techniques. Three projects are waiting for them, including a chance to paint a sleigh ride with sparkling snow on a large wood plate. For the intermediates who want a larger challenge to tackle, Joyce has put together together a project "which is sure to become a family heirloom" heirloom" The project is to paint, three wise men on a wood triptych panel 24-inches Qn ^ Other projects will include include a five-week watercolor workshop. There will also be five one-day workshops on two separate days for each of the workshops. The subjects are: Calligraphy Basic One, Two learning the uncial style; fabric painting on Bat- tenberg Lace ana fabric painting in your seasonal colors. These five workshops cover cover the entire day and begin promptly at nine each morning. morning. Joyce Rousseau is a member of Orono's artistic community.
