Lynda Hanson - Teaching at the Senior Center

Back in June 2024, I was asked to teach art classes at the senior center in Wickenburg. I was hesitant and only agreed to try it for three months… but I’m still at it!

We meet on the third Wednesday each month with a fun group of 4–7 ladies (and occasionally a few men—max is 10). My husband Brian comes along and helps a ton—I couldn’t do it without him.

A few days before class, we test out the projects and tweak them if needed. Each month we usually finish two pieces. We’ve done everything from diamond art butterflies and paper mâché flowers to acrylic painting with all kinds of fun tools—paper towels, string, chains, cups, even balloons!

We also stick around for lunch—it’s just $3.50 for seniors 65+. Lunch is 11–12, and art class runs 1–3 on the third Wednesday.

Please Help Us Reach Our Goal
Of 200 Masks for Paws & Paintbrushes Event

We have a mask making station set up at WAC, filled with masks, paint, glitter, feathers and all kinds of fun embellishments. We invite you to stop by and make a mask or two for our Paws & Paintbrushes fundraiser event. You can stop in any time, or join us for one of our Mask Making Gatherings, or take a mask with you to work on at home!

Our goal is to make 200 masks for this event. The mask tracker on the left shows our current progress toward this goal.

Here are just a few of the fabulous masks that have been made so far!
