Class Schedule June-August 2012
Here's a quick rundown of my 2012 summer teaching schedule. I only have a handful of classes in So CA in late June to very early July. After that, I will NOT be teaching in So CA until very late September so please catch the classes while you can!

Uncharted Territories-
Come and learn a fun and easy new stitch
while creating a hand bound, hardcover journal made by your own hands in your
own unique style! We’ll start the class by making the journal and then diving
in to work on the pages. Learn how to transform found, magazine and old book
pages using color, texture, pattern and more turning the pages into unique,
new, visually delightful pages that sing of you!
Supply list: Scissors, small selection of favorite collage
ephemera, bone folder, cork back metal ruler, roll of waxed paper, roll of
paper towels, permanent black inkpad, container to hold water, 1" brushes
to glue (I like chip or bristle brushes), a few of your favorite glue sticks
La Petit Muse
With your own hands and in your own style,
construct a small, personal journal completely from scratch. You’ll start by
choosing your own handmade and decorative paper to use as the cover and as the
inside pages! Create your own unique book sewn by your own hands. After
constructing the book, you will then learn a multitude of new collage
techniques for working on the pages. This was one of my favorite journals to
work in and I hope it will become one of yours!

we work. Combine a multitude of ephemera and your own style to create uniquely
blended, layered and richly colored, personal journal pages.

Learn
a whole new way to approach a blank page! In this workshop, you will
combine paper ephemera, tape, rubber stamps, watercolor crayons and a
whole lot more to create lusciously layered backgrounds that can be used
in ANY art form. As you work, you will gain new insight into the
principles of collage such as composition, design, color, pattern and
much, much more. You will walk out having created several layered
backgrounds as well as the confidence to create even more on your own!

Sacred Place
Combine luscious handmade paper, waxed linen
thread, glue, collage ephemera and a plethora of techniques to create this one
of a kind journal handmade by you! I will dig deep into my bag of tricks and
teach you what I know about working in this unique book! Learn
composition, design, color, lettering and more as you work hands on in your new
journal. Experiment with paper, tape, transparencies, stickers, rub ons and
MORE! Think making a journal is difficult? You won’t after this class. If you

techniques and creating pages, then this is the class for you! You will walk
out of class not only with a new journal but with your head full of new ideas
and possibilities!

embellished, textured, luscious and visually stimulating artist’s book. Using a
combination of vintage and new, you will create fresh, one of a kind,

Working large and somewhat fast (though not too fast that you won’t be able to
keep up!), we’ll cover a lot of ground in this four hour workshop.
