Start with assembling slats of wonderfully weathered wood, then cut out the 18″ circle. Roughly sand the edges for a really rustic look. Using stencils and paint, you’ll make the large, easy-to-read dial. For a truly customized product, you can also add personalization like ours, which celebrates the founding of Shake Rag Alley! Stylish and useful, this farmhouse clock will add a warm flavor to your home or workshop — or maybe that of a friend, if you’re feeling generous.
Class size 8
Student Supply List Reading glasses if you use them. There’s a lot of close work with the painting.

Carole Spelić grew up with educator parents and no television, so since childhood she’s been making things in 2D and 3D. She graduated from Bates College (ME) with a BA in Fine Art and earned her MA and MFA from the University at Albany (NY).
After graduate school, Carole lived in Manhattan, New York City, for 17 years where she was assistant coordinator for the State University system’s Studio Semester in New York program.
She has retired from her senior lecturer position in the art area at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. She also retired from being program director with Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts, and is now a full-time artist, musician, workshop leader, and gallerist – Carole and her partner, painter Richard Moninski, own and operate Green Lantern Studios, a gallery of fine art and handicrafts in Mineral Point.
Her recent exhibitions include work at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (West Bend), a show at the Pump House (La Crosse, WI), award-winning work at the Center for Visual Arts (Wausau, WI), installations at the Evanston Art Center (Evanston, IL), and a one-person exhibition at the Nohr Gallery (Platteville, WI).
