THE CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT: ROYCE JERMAN Teacher: Tole Painting, Tatting, Beading & More! Ever since childhood, I have enjoyed making things with my hands. I have dabbled in many dierent areas. Even though I still have many interests, I have zeroed in on painting and beading and have now taught classes at Four Seasons for 15 years. I have enjoyed every minute of teaching. It warms my heart and gives me great pride to share my knowledge and passions with others. Initially, I was reluctant to move to a "senior" community with a "bunch of old people." However, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have met so many wonderful people here and enjoy every moment of life in Four Seasons. In our "Painting Pals" class, we started doing tole painting on wood projects like traditional tole painters but now paint on canvas almost exclusively. Some of the students have painted with me for many years. We paint every Tuesday from 10 am to 1 pm in the Arts & Cras Room. I also teach tatting, beading and more in the "Beading Buddies" class. is class has evolved too. We started as a tatting class until I shared a Christmas ornament project I was making at home. Everyone wanted to learn that and the rest is history. We now work on all kinds of beading projects, loom beading and Kumihimo which is a form of Japanese braiding. But mostly, we just have FUN every Wednesday from 10 am to 1 pm. Images of Royce's and her students stunning works are featured throughout the year on the website, 4seasonscreativegroup.com, in e Lodge gallery and in the Hemet Herald magazine via articles in e Creative Spotlight.
