These fresh,
new workshops teach a variety of NEW ideas involving collage, creative
processing, self expression, composition, design, layering, painting and much,
much more.
Please note there is
a small supply list. (For long time regulars, please make sure to read the updated supply list below each class description.)
Beginners to
advanced are welcome in ALL of the classes.
The
class fee includes a vast array of mediums and materials to complete
the necessary project. It is well known that I do not travel light to
any of my classes. I will be bringing such things are:
I do not travel light to my classes at all.- all materials necessary to complete the project (handmade paper, decorative paper, board, glue, etc...)
- bookbinding supplies (thread, awl, needles)
- rubber stamps
- ink pads
- decorative tape
- stencils
- pens and markers
- collage ephemera and much, much more.
How do artists discover new things if we only stick with what we know?
How do we work past creative block? How do we open ourselves up to creative
chance and opportunity?
We PLAY!
Pack your journal and a few favorite art supplies and get ready to expand
upon what you know. Explore new techniques in collage, mixed media painting,
layering, journaling and more. Push past creative block and learn to get into
the groove: art journaling style!
Have your favorite adhesive packed and get ready to CREATE.
Supply list: Your Journal, a small bag to hold your paper scraps (think
a small brown lunch bag, or the small handled paper bags they give out at
Starbucks), an apron, scissors, a small
selection of favorite collage ephemera (think
about reading this when choosing your images and papers), baby wipes, cork back
metal ruler, a full roll of paper towels OR old rags, a container for your
paint water, your favorite paint
brushes,
a water brush pen (OR an extra fine, detail paint brush *ONLY* IF you have one), a
few of your favorite LARGE glue sticks (please trust me when I say that large
glue sticks will last you longer. I always have two or three 40 gram glue
sticks in my journal bag and that's more than enough for a long weekend. You
WILL go through the smaller glue sticks in MINUTES), 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.)
Finger Painting for Grown-ups (aka Don't Toss Those Dried Up Paint Markers Yet)
I'm
tired of throwing away dried up paint markers. I'm sure you are, too.
How do we rejuvenate paint markers that won't write anymore? We paint
with them! Yes, PAINT!
This isn't just basic finger painting for adults using paint markers. I've been OBSESSED with using my paint markers lately to do more than just write, draw, color and make marks with. Come to class and I'll share with you all of the ways in which, you too, can make pages as luscious as the above sample photos are (if I do say so myself!) Bring water based paint markers that won't write but have gobs of paint still left in them. Bring water based paint marker refills that you haven't used in ages and I'll share how to use them (instead of leaving them to dry up or tossing them.)

Journey deep into a realm of luscious color, exploratory layers and expressive journal pages. BYO journal
and a sense of play to this fun new workshop. Explore layers of paper,
paint and pen using a plethora of creative techniques and playful
exploration.
I
have been obsessed about the freedom and creative possibilities offered
in this workshop. Be prepared to play, expand and experience... also,
to laugh.
If
you have them, please bring any of your favorite water-based paint
markers and refills to class (I will have a generous selection.) It's a
good way to explore paint markers you might not have played with in a
while. (Do NOT go out and buy paint markers for this workshop!)
