Thank you SO MUCH for visiting our website. Now Check Out The Many Many Reasons To Come Visit Old Clarkesville Mill This Fall!....
Saturday, January 21st, 2012
Beginning to feel grey like the weather? Come to Old Clarkesville Mill for our "Bash the Winter Blahs" Sale! Discounts in dozens of antique booths, art supplies, bookstore, seasonal, backyard birding, outdoor and garden. Sale lasts through January 30th and more items will go on sale every day, so come in and get first chance at all the one-of-a-kind treasures at once-upon-a-time prices!
Beat the price increases on art supplies - almost every art supply manufacturer raised prices at the first of the year, some of them significantly (Prismacolor pencils went up from $1.60 to $1.71 each!) We don't raise the price on stock we already have when prices go up, so come in now and get what you need at last year's prices. All art supplies are at least 10% off marked prices during our Winter Bash sale, (20% off for Club Members) and some clearance supplies are 50% and more off.
More and more new stuff! We got in over 50 boxes of art supplies and over 200 boxes of Melissa and Doug toys this past week! Oh, yeah, several boxes of books, too, and our magazines have just started to trickle in -we'll have over 100 titles of new magazines at all times in the bookstore as soon as the first issues all get here. We don't have everything out and priced yet, but we are working on them as fast as we can go, so we want to invite you to came and see what we're up to.
We're open seven days a week, so come visit us any day!

Pottery Classes
Tonya Kimsey is offering pottery classes for beginners on the wheel at The Art-Full Barn. Classes will be limited to two students at a time, so everyone will get lots of attention from the teacher and have use of one of the wheels the entire class time. Classes are available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday; 10:00-12:00, 1:00-3:00, or 3:30-5:30. The fee for a six week session of classes, paid in advance, is $240. Students may come on a pay-as-you go basis for $25 per hour, when there is an open class spot. Class slots will not be saved for pay-as-you go students, so always check to see if there is an open wheel before you come.
Students need to have a basic pottery tool set, available at The Art-Full Barn. Students are requiredto use only clay purchased from The Art-Full Barn. This is to safeguard the kilns and everyone's pottery in the kilns! Several types of clay are always for sale for $16.99 per 25 pound bag or $32 for two bags; Tonya's students only may purchase a bag of clay for $30 with that price including firing and glazes. The studio provides a wide choice of glazes and learning which glazes are appropriate for which clays is part of the class plan.
Each student will have a storage space at the studio to store tools, work in progress, etc. There is a restaurant on site and drinks and snacks are available, also.
Tonya graduated from North Georgia College in Dahlonega in the spring of 2009, with a degree in art education, focus in ceramics. She taught in 2010 and 2011 at The Studio Art School in Crested Butte, Colorado. Her pottery has been sold at The Art-Full Barn and other local galleries since she was thirteen, and she won her first blue ribbon for pottery design at that age also. She is excited to be home and hopes to make her living with her pottery production and classes.

Welcome to the Art-Full Barn
Our Story.....
Greg and Gail Kimsey opened the Art-Full Barn in 1998 inside an actual old red barn that was built in the early 1920's. It began as a place for artists to sell their creations in a funky and fun atmosphere. It has evolved into much more that that. As people came in to look at the awesome art on furniture, canvas, and functional items, they would ask if we could teach them how to paint it. So we began teaching art classes in both decorative and fine art techniques. Our students were having trouble finding the art supplies for the classes. We contacted suppliers and began carrying the supplies for our students. Eventually people heard we had art supplies and asked it we could get specific supplies. Our art supply stock grew by leaps and bounds and eventually we realized we had one of the best art supply stores in all of North East Georgia. Our focus shifted from selling art to selling art supplies and art classes. As other art classes became available in the area in other venues we allotted more of our classroom space to art supply sales and farmed out our classes to other teachers. We eventually outgrew the barn and moved into the much larger space inside Old Clarkesville Mill. Several other ventures have sprouted from our original concept and the Art-Full Barn has become a hub for people who create. Come see us for all of your art supply needs.
