    One of the most industriously creative people I know is Silver Spring polymer clay artist Carol Zilliacus.  A wonderful article was written about Carol a few weeks ago by Molly Golubcow in the Colesville Patch
    Here is a brief excerpt from the article:
    "When you first walk into the Paint Branch Studio, you have to remind yourself that you are not in a trendy artist garret in Greenwich Village, but rather in a suburban home in Colesville.  The small rooms are packed with an eclectic collection of artist materials and projects--colorful beads, rainbows of paint containers and other materials carefully housed in see-through containers or hung about the home.  Artistic creativity is literally and figuratively flowing in a sea of colors throughout the studio.  Enter the creative and exciting world of Carol Zilliacus, an artist extraordinaire."
    Please read the rest of the article by going to Article about Carol Zilliacus.  Congratulations to Carol on this well-deserved article!  We carry Carol's work at ARThouse, and you can stop by to see it almost any time.  Also you can view more of her work on her website, www.Carol ZilliacusArtist.com.

     This truly is the Month of the Falling Leaves here at ARThouse!  Last month we had a bumper crop of acorns, prompting someone to say they had a good name for the studio: "Falling Acorns Studio"! (our former name)...
     We are winding up our fall classes, and will let you know about winter classes in the December newsletter.  Now we are preparing for our annual Student Show--see more below and hope you can come!  Also we have a coupon below for picture framing.
