Artists on Bainbridge Island wondering what happened to Oil & Water art supplies just need to go to the old location and look up. They’ve moved on to the next story.
I talked with Pam Christiansen, who is the head of the Creativity Center there associated with Oil & Water. She tells me that they made the move upstairs not because it’s a bigger space but because it’s a more focused space. Now it’s located right next to the Creativity Center classrooms. Christiansen started the Creativity Center three years ago; in June the center merged with Oil & Water. “We had the same vision and ideas,” she said. Moving downtown to the Winslow Mall was “great because people can come over from Seattle. It’s centrally located,” she said.

The Creativity Center now has 16 faculty members who teach classes in most mediums, including oil, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, multimedia and drawing for both adults and children. They run labs with nude models every Thursday night, and even have an off-site sculpture class.

New sessions begin this month. You can get information here: oilandwaterarts.com/classes.html.
