Manteo sightseeing day during ReCreate

Post by nchoney »

Hopefully, we'll be able to make a trip up to Manteo this year .... many of you haven't been to visit these places:
The NC Aquarium http://www.ncaquariums.com/roanoke-island
Elizabethan Gardens http://elizabethangardens.org/
Christmas Shop http://www.outerbankschristmas.com/

There's even a craft shop I haven't been to yet... Love n' Life http://www.lnlop.com/

Just tossing this idea out there so you all can think about it! :-)

Is there any other sightseeing you want to do?

We could plan a painting class at the art studio in Rodanthe, too, maybe.... they do those painting on canvas parties... but also do wine glass painting parties, too. https://www.facebook.com/sandbardreamsllc/

Do we want to get in touch with the lady who did the mermaid rings and see if we can schedule a necklace day? I don't have her info but I'm sure I could get it.... maybe she'd come to the house instead of driving down to Avon.

Ok... I'm checking on the prices of the painting parties...

I'll see if I can figure out some info on the mermaid necklace lady! :-)

The place where we made the rings has a couple interesting classes listed in April (I'm guessing they might be in May, too) Sea Glass pendants and Tissue Paper landscapes... they're each $39 ... I think that's what we paid for our ring class last year...

I've emailed Laura.... I think she's who did our ring class last year... she's got a studio up in Nags Head somewhere, so I'm assuming it's her. I've asked her if she'd rather come to the house to do necklaces (she does the Sea Glass pendant class at Studio 12) .... it'd save all of us some miles of driving. I'll let you know what she says.

Just found another art studio up here in Kill Devil Hills that has an artist who does painting classes.... but the thing that caught my eye was an alcohol ink class. Looks like it's at a local restaurant some nights... but I wonder what else he does at his studio...

I like the images from his painting parties... especially that jellyfish ... http://www.hang12art.com/wine-paint-party/

Laura said she'd be happy to do necklace workshop for us at the house. It'd be $39 per person. Either a sea glass one or one with dangling charms. I'll post her sample photos tomorrow. We'd need to decide on one style.

Laura's necklace workshop sounds fun...I enjoyed her mermaid ring class, she made it fun!

And the alcohol ink class is also intriguing, to me...his paintings were pretty cool, too.

Thanks for checking into all of it for us, Debi!

I like the idea of the alcohol ink class.

Not interested in the jewelry classes.

I've wanted to go to Manteo every time we go to OBX so hope this time we do.

I'm intrigued by the alcohol ink class, too... especially since I still have some bottles of that stuff.

I've emailed him about whether he'd do a workshop at his studio instead of at the restaurant this was showing.... so we could do something in an afternoon rather than at night and then have to drive home 35 miles.

So... we'll see.

Here are the two necklace styles ... I'm not sure how many of us she'd need to sign up.... so we'll have to consider that since there aren't as many of us this year...
