WEEKEND: Students to show off talents tonight in Port Angeles ‘enchanted forest’

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Nov. 20.

PORT ANGELES — Tonight’s Enchanted Extravaganza will present creations from the imagination of commercial arts students at the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center and Lincoln High School.

Special surprise creations by the skills center culinary arts class also will be featured from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the lobby of the skills center at 905 W. Ninth St.

Admission will be free.

The “enchanted forest” will have twisted trees, flying fantasy fish, pixy dust, a troll and many more unusual things, according to instructor Melissa Klein.

Within the forest will be a fortune teller, a girl who can hear color and artwork.

Said commercial art student Tippy Munger: “I have two forms of synesthesia. Synesthesia is when I hear a sound and I see a correlating color. I also see people’s personalities as colors, also known as an aura. Come see me to find out the color of your aura.”

Student Savannah Rain said of her painting, “Hearts among the Thorns,” that “though the world may be cruel, it doesn’t mean you can’t grow.”

Caitlyn Richardson, also a student, plans to provide tips for makeup.

“Do you know what strobing means in the makeup community?” she asked.

Refreshments will be available for purchase.

For more information, phone Tracy Walker, event coordinator, at 260-565-1962 or email Twalker@portangelesschools.org.
