October 18th Visual Poetry Special All Day Class 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Visual Poetry
In this unique all day workshop, you will create a lavishly layered book full of color, paper, text, paint, stencils and everything with which we can get our hands dirty with. We'll combine all new layers of collage, color, text and images onto the pages. We’ll learn how to push, pull and rework the pages, digging deep and discovering new visual delights on each and every page. This is the class you have been waiting for.
Supply list: scissors, a selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images), bone folder, cork back metal ruler, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels OR an old rag, permanent black ink pad (if you have one), 1" brush to glue (I like chip or bristle brushes), a few of your favorite glue sticks (large glue sticks will last you longer), an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.) Feel free to bring a small handful of your favorite colors of acrylics, paint pens and markers if you'd like though I will have several for you to use.
November 29th My Imperfect Heart 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
My Imperfect Heart
So often we are after messy, layered, honest and rich pieces of art. That's what this class is about, putting ourselves together on the pages, revealing tiny bits of ourselves, piecing ourselves together with layers of tape, paint and paper. Prepare to get messy as you learn a variety of new mixed media techniques. This book can be a deeply personal journey or a book of luscious, playful layers. There is something for everyone in this class.
Supply list: an apron, scissors, a selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images), bone folder, cork back metal ruler, roll of paper towels OR an old rag, permanent black ink pad (if you have one), 1" brush to glue and paint (I like chip or bristle 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.)
December 20th Painted Connections 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Painted Connections
Create a
unique landscape journal with pages that fold out and reveal
luscious layers of texture, color, pattern and expression.
Learn how to bring together paper and paint on the pages,
creating unusual, lush, rich and inviting personal pieces.
Like all of
my classes, you will learn ideas that can be translated to
ANY art form. We will focus on composition, design, color
theory, self expression and much, much more. This is more
than just a journaling class, it's an experience.
I hope to see you there!
