Crepe Paper IRISES

Karen's love crepe paper flower making began with tutelage from Eileen Riley who taught workshops at NBACE since 2022.  Karen attended all of Eileen's workshops and soon couldn't get enough of paper flower making.  She's perfected several varieties and is eager to share her skills with you.  Karen Charbonneau Zukas is a graduate of Tufts university and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with a master’s degree in education from Western New England University.  She is a recognized portrait painter and potter and former columnist for the Bulletin in Boston.  She has been teaching various subjects, primarily advanced ESL, fine art, writing, test prep, debate and humanities; at universities, preparatory, public, private and international schools and community ed in Boston and now locally for over 35 years.  She and her family moved back to the south coast in 2013.  She is the proprietor of Peasantware Pottery in New Bedford and the founder of The New Bedford Art and Cultural Emporium at Kilburn ! 

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
