Shop Made in DC Collage Event

Shop Made in DC made an awesome collage classroom this evening. It was hands-down the largest collage event that I have led!

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. 🐦 📦.

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.

My Fall class at the AAC

My fall Tuesday night class at the Arlington Arts Center will start on October 25 (enrollment will probably open in early September), and here's what the theme of the class will be: ART BOOKS Book artists have a history of altering books, in addition to creating new book art. In this class, we will take inspiration from existing books and use them as canvases to create entirely new works of art. Although we will spend some time making books, the emphasis of the class will be on filling these books with our own mixed media art. Participants will be encouraged to see these works as opportunities for personal exploration and expression, trying new techniques (or using favorites).
