Rockin’ Red Ranchers combined learning and leisure with an art class and painting party at Bottle and Bottega in Flower Mound. Ladies had to overcome hesitations (only one attendee was an art major!) when they learned they had to design and hand paint two wine glasses. Paint brushes were dipped into ceramic paint, and the glasses were held gingerly. The glasses turned out better than anticipated, and the art party experience was considered a success.
