The family of Sharon Isenhower would like to invite you to visit Plum Creek Art Center/Connie Mohr Gallery and see a few (of many) art pieces painted, sewed, and welded by Sharon over her life time. These are pieces Sharon gifted to family and friends, and they have put them together for the exhibit. The exhibit will be available for viewing until mid-September, during regular gallery hours.
Sharon was a lifelong resident of Fredericksburg, who passed away in 2022.
As a beginners class, you will learn 'How to' cut, nip and place your glass pieces to make an attractive "suncatcher" for indoors or out. Not only will you play with glass, you'll get your fingers dirty applying grout to the glass. Beware, it can get messy! (We will have aprons & gloves available). You may bring your own design, but it should fit in a 6"x 5" area.
The class is a 2 part class. Dates for the class are Sep 9 & 16, 2025, from 6-8 pm. You will start your project on the 9th and finish it on the 16th.
Your instructor is Becky Schoenfeld of the Carriage House Studio, New Hampton, IA. Becky is a GREAT instructor and is also fun to have teaching a class. She is an accomplished mosaic artist and has attended several (many) mosaic artists' classes, so she can learn new techniques and pass them on to her students.
You are invited to learn some of the basics in storytelling.
(Like below)
Your instructor will be India Watson, who will guide you through some "spooky folktales".
The whole family is invited.
Cost is a free will donation.
It will be held at the Plum Creek Art Center/Connie Mohr Gallery
115 W. Main St., Fredericksburg, IA 50630

My Story
On a clear, but windy night the leaves rustled in the wind and the moon was just coming up. The hayride was to start in an hour and I needed to find my clothes I wanted to wear, something nice & warm.
1. What time of year was it?
2. What type of clothes do you think I had picked out or wanted to wear?
3. Why did I have to find my clothes?
The shadows seemed to have a life of their own or was it Becky's life? After listening to her story about growing up in the North Eastern United States, near Salem, MA and the "Witches Trials", nothing would surprise me.
1. Why were there shadows?
2. Did the shadows really have a life of their own?
