Scenes from a Workshop

The first workshop of 2011 was Saturday in my studio.

There was a lot of learning and sharing going on. I love these smaller workshops - seven students in my studio. The syllabus is looser which allows us to respond freely to questions that come up. All my supplies are right here at my fingertips. We shared thoughts and materials.

Here is a page Laura (top R) finished when she got home. Thanks for the nice words, Laura.

Kathy Nesi brought along the journal she had made in my Rescue Book Journal class at Art-Is-You. I'm offering a similar class this year in Danbury but using a coptic stitch to bind it. Here is a pic of her book! I was so thrilled to see it worked in. Kathy is teaching a woodburning class this year at Art-Is-You.

Kathy is using her journal for the Sketchbook Challenge. Here is a peek inside showing the Highly Prized theme proposed by Jill Berry. Thank you, Kathy.

A good day, a swell group of women.

Studio and Online classes coming up!

I've just sent out my Newsletter for the next bit of time, and here's a couple of things that are happening. You can just go to the Newsletter (where you can sign up for it) or read it here!

The really big news {bum bum bum bummmmmmm}

I'm going to start offering on line classes! 

Yes, I am excited. 

Front Cover, Stencils, Ink, Stamps, fabric

The first one will be Inner Circle Journal  (end of Feb) which is a combination of surface decoration on paper, bookbinding (it's a maze book with a pocket) and art journaling. Registration begins now! 

My first studio class of 2011 will be Taming the Critic, an art journaling class that will give your critic a run for his/her money. I love teaching this class, the techniques empower students and that is pretty durn cool. This is a five hour class so we can really "get at it." Yeah. Email me if you are interested. Spots are going very quickly

Mamacita is offering Sunday Salon workshops. They will be held on the last (approximately) Sunday of each month; 3 hour workshops.

Karen Hunter-McLaughlin, is teaching Digital Image Preparation for Artists on January 30. Do I ever need this! A lot of us do. She's covering both photoshop and GIMP. GIMP is a free download and I've had it for some months but it overwhelms me. There may be a couple of open spots left and, if so, don't hesitate. Karen is great!

I'm doin' the next Sunday Salon workshop at the end of February (in my studio). Book and Journal. More about that later.

MamaCita has a fab exhibit coming up in Philly at the Welcome Center in Love Park. Feb. 11, 6-8. Hope you'll come. Go here to get the details!
