I am so excited to tell you that I am teaching THREE classes!

On Friday night I will be teaching (along side Jennifer Rizzo) the class, “Avenues to an Artful Business”.

On Saturday I will be teaching two art classes.

Vintage Art Journal Class (12-2:30)

You will take a variety of vintage elements and create a beautiful and usable art/writing journal. You will start with a vintage book and alter it to include vintage elements that make it reflect your own personal style. Each journal will be full of vintage papers and watercolor paper. All supplies will be provided but you are free to bring anything personal you would like to add. You will learn how to stamp onto metals and leathers, different photo transfer processes and mixed media techniques. You will also learn beginning art journaling techniques so you can start filling your journal with your own art. All of my classes give clear step by step directions. Even if you have never created art before you will leave with not only a new piece of art but the knowledge to continue your own art at home.

$58 ($50 if taken with the vintage mixed media art class)

I wish I was in the area. The classes sound wonderful. . . any chance there might be a transcript or e-class version of the “Artful Business” class? I would love to get started in that direction!
