The Memory Box Program is a Outreach Program that creates hand painted memory boxes for parents of infant loss and donates them to participating hospitals. Decorative Artist, Ann Bussey has been involved in the program since it began and has now opened the doors of her studio to local teens who are interested in learning the art of decorative painting through the gift of giving. There is no class fee or charge for teen paint-ins. Boxes and painting supplies are donated by the studio and Heart of Ohio Tolers. All boxes painted by the teens are donated to local participating hospitals as part of the outreach.
Teens can attend as often as they like and are under no pressure to finish a set number of boxes.
We invite you to visit our studio and decide if decorative painting is for you. Learn a little history about decorative painting and the different styles. To make it easy we have included a registration form online. Simply print it out and mail it with any required deposit to hold your place in class. If you're looking for a more relaxed painting experience, private beginning and intermediate lessons are available by appointment.
