Remnants of Me
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
How
do we create pages that reveal our own stories? How do we find our own
voices in an unending sea of noise? How do we create unique, personal
art from the heart?
In
this workshop, you will begin by constructing your own art journal.
After selecting a hardcover book (provided) that resonates with you, we
will stitch our pages into the book. Once the book is assembled (this
will not take long) you will then begin to work upon the pages learning
new techniques in self expression through collage, layering, painting,
journaling and much, much more. You will create pages that are rich,
deeply expressive and unique to you. You will walk out with a new book,
several pages completed, an abundance of new ideas and the eagerness to
create many more pages.
Like all of my classes, the techniques that you learn can be applied to a multitude of art forms.
Supply list: an apron, scissors, a small selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images and papers),
bone folder, cork back metal ruler, a full roll of paper towels OR old rags,
permanent black ink pad (if you have one), a container for your paint water, 1" brush to glue and paint
(I like chip or bristle brushes) as well as a few, smaller, detailed brushes,a few of your favorite glue sticks
(large glue sticks will last you longer), roll of waxed paper OR an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.)
I hope to see you there!

Poetic Expressions of the Self
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Our
journals hold bits and pieces of ourselves. So often they sit on our
shelves ready to unveil their beauty and secrets to us. What if we took
the book form and created an art journal that could be shared and
displayed (if, and when, we wanted to share?) How do we let go and
create authentic and vibrant pages that buzz with our creative spirit?
You
will create an accordion fold book with layers of paint, paper, text
and more. Learn how to open up authentically and visually onto your
pages. We will also discuss other possible structures before we work on
the pages. Step outside of your box and comfort zone in this creative
and enriching workshop.

Brushstrokes: Playful, Paint Applications On Journal Pages
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Let's
get messy! Explore, experiment and play with paint in this colorful and
fun workshop. We'll start by collaging our pages and then it's time to
pull out the paint! You will learn everything I know about acrylics,
mediums as well as a plethora of ways to apply acrylics to our journal
pages (or canvas, walls, etc...) Explore color, texture and depth as you
create original and luscious pages.
You will also love making your own unique sampler
to remember all of these techniques later on.
