To encourage participation in the Irrigation Festival Innovative Arts and Craft’s Innovative Reuse Showcase, several spring workshops have been devised for creative folks to take.

Brenda Root leads a Pallet Art Workshop from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, April 14, in the Irrigation Festival Float Barn on the corner of Fifth Ave and Evergreen Way.

The $10 fee includes workshop materials.

Learn how to create a personalized sign out of wood pallet boards, and to paint a sign on boards including stenciling words and various creative techniques for finishing your sign. Participants will be able to select up to three pallet boards for a small, decorated sign.

Registration is required and payment at the door. To register for the workshop, email to info@irrigationfestival.com or call Lynn Horton at 360-808-5623.

Participants are encouraged to enter their pallet art or other creative repurposed works for the 2018 Innovative Reuse Showcase and Contest, set for May 4-6; details are at IrrigationFestival.com, or contacting Kelly Jo Hill at 360-461-3950 or JustAskKelly@olypen.com.
