Upcoming workshops at PTSA

Here’s my workshop schedule at the Port Townsend School of the Arts for the next 3 months. My popular Beeswax Collage workshop is happening on May 13th-14th. I am always amazed by my student's creativity in this class, I get so inspired every time. Then on June 3rd and 4th, I am teaching my Monoprint & Collage workshop. If you want to learn tricks and tips on printing with a gel plate, this is the class for you!

And on July 15th-16th, I am bringing back my Gypsy Journal workshop. In this class you will learn a lot of bookmaking and collage techniques to create whimsical journals with lots of personality! I am not sure if I will have time to teach in the fall this year, but I will definitely teach again in 2018. Hope to see you in one of my classes sometimes soon! 

Beeswax & Monoprint

I am so excited to feature my student's work from my Beeswax Collage and Gel Plate Monoprint workshops at the Port Townsend School of the Arts. Opening night tomorrow at Art Walk in Port Townsend, April 1st, from 5:30 to 8pm. Stop over for a glass of wine and listen to Dave and Eric on the ukulele!  See you there!

New workshop this weekend!

I am so excited to finally be teaching my first Gypsy Journals Workshop at PTSA this weekend! I am so passionate about recycling and these journals are the perfect little packages of upcycling goodness! From old books, to fabric samples, used jewelry, old maps, buttons and trims, paper scraps, used stamps, pretty much everything I have been hoarding for years, I can now put in these journals. We will work on stitched journals and spiral bound journals. Can't wait

to share all the work from my students!

Another Show at the Bishop Gallery

The Bishop Gallery had their artist back out at the last minute so they asked me if I had any paintings laying around, and could I just jump in and be their February artist! So I thought, why not? I am showing a lot of different styles, because I have been experimenting a lot in the last 5 years. Please stop by for a glass of wine and listen to my husband Dave on the ukulele if you are in the area. The Bishop Victorian is at 714 Washington Street in Port Townsend. Art walk is this Saturday February 4th from 5:30 to 8pm.

Gypsy Journal Workshop

Gypsy Journals Workshop at PTSA | March 18-19

Happy New Year! It's been pretty busy so far, I can't believe it's already January 22nd. It looks like I will be teaching a lot this year and I am pretty excited about that! My Beeswax Collage workshop on February 11-12 is already sold out but my Gypsy Journals workshop on March 18-19th still has openings. In this class you will learn how to create whimsical and eclectic journals using various collages, painting and book binding techniques. You will create your own hand painted papers and personalize the inside of your journal by mixing some blank pages with other papers like sheet music, old book pages, maps, colored or grid paper, etc. These books are so fun to make, and they make wonderful gifts too! Class will be held at PTSA in Building 306 at Fort Worden. Join the fun!
