LEWISTON — In an effort to save both some funds and the environment, the Center for Wisdom’s Women has decided to use mugs instead of paper or foam cups. On July 13, Judy Giffin from Calvary Methodist Church came and gifted the center with a lesson on ceramic painting.

Giffin brought with her all the needed supplies including a special kind of paint that will not wash off of the mugs. In keeping with the logo of the center, she taught the participants how to paint sunflowers on the mugs. Each mug was different and each woman put their name on a mug to personalize it for use when they are at the center.

Giffin has been doing decorative painting for about 30 years and teaching it for about 15 years.  She belongs to the Society of Decorative Painters and is the coordinator for Sea Strokes Chapter for the Memory Box Program. 

For more information or if interested in volunteering at the center, contact Executive Director Klara Tammany at 513-3922.
