Students bring their own bonsai tree to learn next-level care, including the science behind pH levels, proper soil, best lighting practices, fertilizing basics, and how it keeps our trees in optimal health.

Acrylic Painting with Kathy Thomas 
Multiple Sessions (see below) | 1-3:30pm 
Fees: $100 Members / $110 Non-Members
<a href="https://www.bristolartmuseum.org/store/p492/Acrylic_Painting_with_Kathy_Thomas_Session_III.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Session III</a> 
Mondays, August 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th, 2026
Kathy Thomas developed an interest in art at an early age, influenced by several family members who were artists. She graduated from Kent State University in 1974 with a degree in Art Education. 
 
Kathy's art has taken many twists and turns over the years. A landscape painter with an impressionist flare, she now leans towards a more abstract expressionist style. She starts every painting from a photo she has taken, using it only as a springboard and never knowing the result until the painting is complete. Starting with bold brush strokes, she then uses palette knives to create texture and color. 
 
Kathy taught at Holliston (MA) High School and served on the Holliston Cultural Arts Council and Executive Director of the Hopkinton Arts Council. In addition to her work in other media, she has studied watercolor and been a Master Flower Show judge and instructor.
