Pete Cole, CEO of Gamblin Artists Colors, will hold a workshop/discussion of oil paints and mediums on Friday, May 1, at 7 p.m. at the Mobius Community Center, presented by Salt Bay Art Supply. Pre-registration is required for this event. Refreshments will be served.

It’s been some time since he presented, but artists who were at his last presentation remember what an exceptional event it was, and have frequently asked for his return. 

Cole will begin with his now-famous “Five Minute History of Oil Paint” (4:50 at last workshop), then move on to the presentation and discussion. Cole will also introduce participants to Gamblin's newest colors and mediums at this event.

If you have questions about oil paints, their manufacture or uses, the variety of types of oil paint now available, their mediums and varnishes, this event is for you. Attendees will leave with answers, samples of Gamblin products, and a coupon toward their next purchase of Gamblin products at Salt Bay Art Supply.

All registrations must be in no later than noon on Thursday, April 30. Tickets are $10 per person, payable upon registration. To get your ticket, come to Salt Bay Art Supply, across from Hannaford’s in Damariscotta. To reserve a ticket, or for more information, call 207-563-8377.

The Mobius Community Center is located at 319 Main Street, across from the Yellow Front Grocery on Upper Main Street in Damariscotta.
