Summary

Lois Sowa Stipp announced plans for small adult painting classes and three one-day children’s classes for ages eight through twelve during summer 2011. By June 30, she had set an introductory workshop for August 6, a color workshop for August 20, and a children’s workshop for August 11. August follow-ups sought registrations for that class, planned additional free children’s workshops, and announced an adult color workshop for August 27; the notices repeatedly note limited openings rather than attendance.

Evidence limits

This is a planned-class announcement, not a registration list, curriculum, or attendance record.

  3. The instructor collected names for adult painting classes and three children’s classes, said dates would be set according to interest, and reported receiving many responses. This confirms active planning, not that the classes ultimately occurred.
