As this year begins, I am thankful for a life that is filled with the
creation of art. Though the Studio space
has changed and there is still much to be done, when the air fills with the
sound of people creating, my heart sings. I also love the planning stage of
each new set of classes. There is
struggle and indecision and then the light comes on and all the pieces fall
into place. You may have noticed the
details took a little longer this time, but I am pleased to say, this
collection of lessons is worthy of the wait.
In the next two months, we will be playing with deli paper, fabric,
found objects, words, toilet paper (honestly) and craft foam. We will explore collage, assemblage, printmaking
techniques, poetry, journaling and bookmaking. And we will celebrate a group of
fabulous female artists. I do hope
you’ll join me...
Coming up in the Studio….
Jan 16 & 19 Explore the
creative possibilities in fun foam prints.
We will build our print plates and create a wonderful selection of
papers. Using a variety of surfaces and
some new colour choices, we will layer our way to a collection of papers you
can use again and again. Inspired by
Anne Bagby, we will explore thin papers and unique colour combinations.
Jan 23 & 26
This dimensional piece mixes fabric, paper and found objects in a
creative way. Inspired by Leilani
Pierson’s house books, from Cloth Paper Scissors, Nov/Dec 2008, I guarantee you
will want to make more than one.
Jan 30 & Feb 2 I am
a big fan of artists like Sarah Lugg and Beryl Taylor, who create inspired
pieces from the tiniest bits. To
celebrate these women, we will create a beautiful assemblage, worthy of
framing, using silk, paper and tiny bits.
Feb 6 & 9 Following our theme of artist inspired art,
Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson created beautiful collages using torn paper in the
November 2008 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors.
We will create our own collage, using torn paper but of course, we will
add a little twist!! Fun, fun, fun.
Feb 7 This Thursday
session is an opportunity to CATCH UP.
Bring along an unfinished project from a previous class. Send me an email to ensure I have the
necessary materials available for you.
Feb 13 & 16 Join me in the Studio for poetic and creative
journaling presented in a unique format.
Bring along your favourite quotes and some special papers from your
stash and assemble this art piece inspired by Lyn Belisle. I will have a selection of beautiful papers
and embellishments for your use.
Feb 20 & 23 This week we play with toilet paper (I know)
and craft foam. What could we be
making? Come to the Studio and be
inspired by Pam Carriker’s unique art materials. I promise it won’t look like toilet paper and
craft foam when we’re done!
