Fremont, CA Workshops June 6-8th, 2014

I am very happy to announce that I will be teaching four NEW workshops at Maria's studio in Fremont, CA June 6th through the 8th 2014 (classes are open to the public.)

I will be offering fresh, new workshops teaching a variety of NEW bookbinding, collage, creative processing, self expression, composition, design, layering, mixed media painting and much, much more.

My workshops are always process-based learning while creating a unique product. I am well known for not traveling light and bring a large variety of supplies including (but not limited to) collage material, rubber stamps, stencils, pens, markers, tape and more. There is a small supply list below each class description.

Layers of Me: A Lesson in Unraveling

Small bits of paper and the boxes that contain them have always fascinated me.

*Students in Layers of Me have the option of making (along with their box) either a deck of cards or a small paper book. When you sign up, please let me know which you would prefer to make: a deck of cards or a small book.*
