Watercolor Workshops

Saturday • March 7 • 8:30am AND 1:00pm
Winterset Art Center

The Winterset Art Center is offering two watercolor classes on March 7th, both taught by Iowa Watercolor Society member Robert Zeidler. These sessions are recommended for some watercolor experience or who consider themselves intermediate level students.

In the morning class (8:30am-12:00pm), the composition will be a horizontal landscape. The painting process will focus on placing strokes of color next to another color for interesting blending and a more exciting result.

In the afternoon class (1:00pm – 4:30pm), the design provided will be a vertical composition of a butterfly on flowers, utilizing a painting approach that starts predominantly with damp paper and finishes with drier applications of paint.

Attendees are asked to bring their own basic watercolor materials. The instructor will provide a demonstration so you will see how he approaches the design, then each student will have plenty of time to work on their own piece and ask questions.

The fee for each class is $35. Sign up with the Winterset Art Center today to reserve your spot at the table!

Sunday Wine Down: Music by Devon Miller

Live Music 2-4PM
No Cover Charge,if you like what you hear please tip the musician. 

Devon Miller has been playing guitar for 46 years. He grew up playing country and bluegrass with his dad’s band and had his first on stage experience at the age of 12. For the last 26 years he’s been playing and singing classic rock all across the state of Iowa.

His approach to acoustic shows is to play a little of everything. Country, rock, pop, blues, folk, bluegrass, even tv show themes and comedy songs. Any genre is fair game. If it’s a good song, Devon probably plays it. 

“One of my favorite parts of a gig is when a member of the audience requests a random song that I don’t normally do, but I’m familiar enough with it that I can look up the lyrics and play it for them right on the spot. Many times that song will be such a hit with the audience that it will become a regular part of the set.”

Devon loves playing, singing and interacting with the audience. You’re bound to have a great time at one of his shows.

K-Pop Demon Hunters Sing-Along

The Iowa Theater for the
Winterset/Japanese Friendship Exchange Program

Six Winterset students are starting to fundraise for the Winterset/Japanese Friendship Exchange. This summer, 6 Japanese students from Minami Alps in Japan will be traveling to Winterset for 10 days. Our students will be matched up with them and their families will host the student. They will be using funds that are raised to help support activities that will help show the Japanese friends what Winterset and Iowa are all about.

Our students also need funds to help cover the travel expense for when they go to Minami Alps in the summer of 2027 to stay with their Japanese friend and experience their culture. Winterset Ballet & Dance is sponsoring this showing of the K-Pop Demon Hunters movie at The Iowa—and it’s a sing-along! Tickets will be a free-will donation!
