April 2014 Classes with Kelly Kilmer
Here's my list of classes that I've booked so far in April 2014.
I'm ALWAYS looking for new teaching venues so if you know of any that may be interested, I'd love to hear.
My workshops for 2014 (the ones I've scheduled so far) can be found here.
Sun 6th Art Bar Santa Ana Little Love Notes: Triptych Book Revised and Revisited
I've revised and revisited different formats of my extremely popular Triptych Book class since I first taught it at Artfest in 2001. This has to be my most favorite version of the book.
You will create a book where the pages swing out door-like. Explore using a variety of different mediums and materials as you work your way through the pages. Learn a variety of new and unique methods in self expression as you work in your book.
This book has pushed me to think and step outside of my box. I will be pushing you in the same way in class (and you will love it!) Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and have a heck of a good time doing so.
Supply list: Scissors, small selection of favorite collage ephemera, bone folder, cork back metal ruler, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels OR an old rag, permanent black inkpad, 1" brush to glue (I like chip or bristle brushes), a few of your favorite glue sticks, an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.
Sat 12th Banana Rose Westlake Village Cultivating You
Get ready to dive into this class by creating a truly unique book form using a variety of handmade and decorative papers selected by you (and provided by me.) A variety of new techniques will be demonstrated, discussed and built upon during the workshop. Walk out with several pages started and full of new ideas that will keep you working on this journal days later!

Sun 13th Word is Art LA Composing A Life: A Journal Box (a special six hour class making a box with four books, collage and more.)
This class has been brewing in my head for several years now and I can't wait to share it with you! In this special six hour workshop, you will learn skills in box making, book making, collage, assemblage, art journaling, self expression, composition, design, and much, much more.
We will begin by creating a book box covered in papers that are chosen by you (and provided by me.) Next up is creating a variety of books that fit into the box. Learn a variety of simple but fun construction and bookbinding techniques.
After the work is done, we will switch gears and begin to fill our pages. You will learn a plethora of mixed media techniques including but not limited to collage, color, composition, design, pen work, layering and much, much more. I strive to make each of the techniques that I present in my classes different than other classes and you will love what you create in this workshop!
You will walk out of class with a finished box, all of your books assembled, several pages richly layered in your own unique style learning the techniques and ideas demonstrated in the workshop. You will love what you create and all of the new possibilities that will be presented and shared in class.

If
you're not near where I'll be teaching, but you're interested in taking
a class, I do offer a variety of online classes (22 different online
workshops as of June 2013.) You can find out more info on the right side
of my main blog.
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.
Thank YOU for your interest!

Sat 26th Making Place Escondido My Interior Life
A book bound by your own hand is a precious thing but what if it’s also a
book that is full of your own visions, thoughts and musings? In this unique
workshop, we will be diving onto the pages learning new collage techniques, pen
work, layering ideas, journal prompts and how to explore our own personal
process of putting ourselves onto paper. You will walk out of class with a
bound journal with several completed pages along with techniques and
inspiration to fill them all!
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) or a few of your favorite glue sticks
I hope to see you there!
