Just Announced: Ink Pad New York City Workshops May 2nd and 3rd
Kermit flail! I'm teaching two brand new workshops at the Ink Pad in New York City May 2nd and 3rd:
Conversations: A Visual Travelogue
Finger Painting for Grown-ups (aka Don't Toss Those Dried Up Paint Markers Yet)
The samples will be in the mail within the next week.
These fresh,
new workshops teach a variety of NEW ideas involving collage, creative
processing, self expression, composition, design, layering, painting and much,
much more.
My workshops are always about inspiring creativity, generating ideas and learning how to see. The ideas can betranslated into a variety of art forms. Use your art journal "as is"or for a springboard of inspiration for other art forms and living a creativelife!
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. You may also want to read this.)

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:
- 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
- acrylic mediums
- collage ephemera and much, much more.
We'll begin this workshop by creating a simple no-stitch journal. After assembling your book, we'll dive head first into layers of paint, paper and pen. This little book will capture your heart and creative spirit.
You'll have the pages full in no time and leave eager to keep working in it.
What I love most about this book is how travel friendly it is. You can also make it in any size! You'll be bringing it to the coffee shop, on road trips and beyond. It's a new friend that you won't want to leave your side.
Supply list: an apron, scissors, a small selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images and papers), cork back metal ruler, a full roll of paper towels OR old
rags, a small container for
your paint water, your favorite paint brushes, a
few of your favorite 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), a few pieces 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!)
