Layers of Me: A Lesson in Unraveling

Small bits of paper and the boxes that contain them have always fascinated me. In this special eight hour workshop you will create your own treasure: a deck of cards completely unique to you and a sturdy box to keep them in. We'll be learning a wide variety of techniques in this class including (but not limited to) art journaling, self expression, collage, composition, design, pen work, and much, much more.
*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.*

Supply list: 3' of your favorite ribbon (if you have it), 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.)

 
 Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
 Breaking Open: A Precious Journey

Peel back the layers and prepare to discover new possibilities on your pages. Learn how to use your new, made by you art journal to experiment in a wide variety of techniques that can be applied to any art form. Learn color, composition, design and more as you fill your pages with unique expressions of your self.
