Art Workshops: Jan. 9 and 11

I'm starting a series of great (and very varied) creative workshops next week. I've got TWO spots left in the first--next Tuesday's "Big Block Printing" workshop (Jan. 9) and I've got ONE spot left in next Thursday's "Painted Paper Collage" workshop (Jan. 11). Let me know if you want to join in the fun.

Ringing in the New Year with Big Prints

I'm ringing in the new year with hand-printed New Year's cards and matching envelopes. ❄️ 🎨 . Stay tuned for January workshops that I'll be offering, including one in which we make big stamps and print cards, stand-alone prints, and wrapping paper that's so cool that you won't want to use it.

Joseph Cornell Box Project

I never ever tire of seeing the wonderful art that my students (adults, this time) produce when making Joseph Cornell-inspired assemblages. 🐦 📦.

3D Folk Art Birds

It was "just" another Wednesday evening class, with congenial people hanging out together making whimsical art, and chatting and laughing. It was the third of four sessions of my class at the Arlington Arts Center, called Young at Heart, and we were inspired by Mark Hearld's wonderful 3D bird cards.

Collaborative Cities Architecture Stamp Project

Check out these pics to see what terrific stuff my adult students produced tonight, in the second session of my current class at the Arlington Arts Center, called Young at Heart. Each student made a series of simple stamps of architectural elements, they then shared the stamps and all printed unique cityscapes. Adding color transformed them from somber to super. This was a project I had previously only done with children, but the adults enjoyed it, too!

Sets of Magnets Make Holiday Gifts

he sets of magnets that participants in my Handmade Holidays workshop at the Arlington Arts Center made tonight were both fun and artsy and ... and surprisingly polished looking. Here's the work of Heather.

Holiday Card-Making Session

Thanks to Tina for organizing a card-making session with a group of her creative friends ... and with me ... at Carriage House Arts and Crafts. All it takes to arrange a class is to find three friends and book an evening. I provide all of the supplies.

Printing on Fabric workshop for adults: Sept. 13th, from 6:30-8:30PM

I'm not saying that you should stop buying dishtowels, but you could make one with me and satisfy that crafty urge, too. September 13th, from 6:40-8:30PM.
