Sue writes: We will be working with 6X6, 8X10, and 8" circular Gelli Plates, happily and messily doing what I call "fingerpainting with brayers," applying layers of acrylic paints, stenciling, etc. It will be crazy and so much fun! These prints can then be used as backgrounds for cards, journals, altered books, and many other mixed media projects. I will do demos and work with all of you individually; we should have time to create at least a couple of cards. Bring an apron or something else to keep your clothing safe (forget about your hands!) and your class kit--I will provide everything else. Class size is limited to six.</div>

The metal will be aluminum, so that the finished card is light weight.</span></div>

You'll picture animals in an entirely new way.<br /><br />Bring your favorite coloring tools, a fine black marker (I like Farber Pitt or Micron), a mixed media drawing pad in the size you like to work (NOT a sketch pad). I'll bring some sheets of mixed media paper if you don't have any.<br /><br />I've used a combination of Panpastels, Copics, and colored pencils I'll bring all of these so everyone could try some new coloring techniques I've learned lately. If Copics are your favorites, please, make sure you’ve labeled them with your name.</i></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>Friday, Feb 7: 10:30am-4pm</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>$45.00</b><br /> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Liz learned this technique from Fred Mullett himself and he has okayed her teaching it! The reason that Fred’s fish stamps are so notable is that he practices the ancient Japanese art of Gyotaku to get his super realistic images.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Gyotaku is a method of pressing the paint-covered “subject” onto paper… nature paints the image. Well, fortunately, we get </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">to use the image without dealing with dead fish!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wear old clothes &/or an apron – bleach is involved. Also, bring your stamp positioner if you have one. The goal is for you to do some practice and then have a frameable piece. Liz assures me that this technique involves many steps, but none are difficult.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">If you missed the first class, be sure and catch it this go round. You will use the Zutter Bind-It-All for a sturdy wire binding and washi paper for the cover. There will be both black and white interior pages. Obviously, you can use your journal as you wish.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">Nancy designed it to be a journal for taking class notes and says "I don’t know about you, but I like taking notes in class to aid my memory when I want to repeat a technique. Unfortunately, I have never been really systematic about this and I’ve written notes on whatever was at hand and they’ve never been collected into one folder or book." </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">This journal is planned so that you can put your sample made in class on a black page and write your notes on the white. There will also be a couple of pocket pages for hand-outs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">Rhenea has become quite the Stencil Queen as you can see from these beautiful Valentine cards ( at least one could also be a Mother’s Day or birthday card.) All of the stencils used are from DreamWeaver. If you have the stencils, bring them. The stencils will be available for purchase… the first one is 15% off, the second is 18% off, and all other stencils or stencil paste will be 20% off. It’s no problem if you don’t have and don’t want the stencils, you will use Rhenea’s.</span></div>

Several of you expressed a desire for this class on a day other than Saturday. Here it is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">Nancy loves making books, especially sewn star books. Another great love of hers is Irish Blessings. She has quite a collection of Irish blessing stamps and what a great way to enjoy them. We're sure you’ll agree. This class will meet on at least 3 Wednesday Afternoons.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">You’ll make two very special cards. Your first card features a dark and stormy night with crows planning mischief. It entails using a stencil with embossing paste and stamping. It also has an unusual closure. This could be sent for fall, Halloween, or just because it is a cool card. (Liz wrote the message poem!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">The second card teaches stamping and embossing on ribbon. It’s a wonderful holly background with the Merry Christmas ribbon across the front.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Your creativity will soar in this fun and fast paced book making workshop created by Juliana Coles! Book Reconstruction will begin with the removal of the pages or guts of a found book. We then rebuild her from recycled remnants and scraps to create a unique artist book, not merely altered, but fully reconstructed. Each page will be created from scraps of paper taped, stitched, and stapled together in a collaboration that allows us to give up perfection in favor of play and experimentation! Participants receive a free workbook with full instructions on the Reconstruction Process.<br /><b><br />Workshop Supplies:<br /></b>You will need: A hardbound found book (or 2 or 3!) to create your Reconstruction Journal. Choose one that appeals to you- any size larger than 6“ x 9” and any thickness not less than ¾ and not thicker than 2”. Altering a book will be more fun for this process but any book will do! You can use an old or new book, one you found at a library sale or thrift store, or you can also use a blank journal or sketchbook – but no spiral bound please!<br /><b><br />Mixed Media Materials: </b>Feel free to bring a few of your favorite supplies or your mini traveling mixed media tool kit, though we may not have time for them!<br />You will definitely need:<br />Gluesticks (1-2 good quality big ones - don‘t bother with the little ones)<br />Scissors (also fancy edged scissors and hole punches if you have them)<br />Self healing cutting board<br />12 inch metal cork backed ruler<br />utility knife or exacto<br />a pen or pencil for measuring<br />At least 2 different kinds of tape such as clear, masking tape, or washi tape in different<br />colors/thicknesses (if you don’t have any tape don’t worry- I’ll be bringing my amazing<br />tape collection for you to experiment with!)<br />Alternative attachment methods such as; stapler, wire, doll needles and thread, brads, etc.<br />And things can get messy so please bring an apron!<b><br /><br /><br />Each student will be required to bring an “Alchemy Bag.” </b>A plastic grocery bag or smaller will do. Some suggestions are random collage items, paper, stickers from when you were 14, artist tools and supplies you no longer use or never liked, ribbon, torn up pieces of your artwork that didn’t work out (no recognizable artwork, please) old postcards, books to cut up, magazines, office supplies, sticks, you get the picture-sort of an ephemera grab bag. We will be using these Alchemy Bags as part of our mixed media paper making assignment! What, and how much to bring, is up to you. Don’t worry about trying to include nice things- we’re looking more for garbage items. We all ready have our own nice supplies-we want your cast offs to really make us think!<br /><br />Email Juliana Coles with any questions or concerns: <a href="mailto:meandpete@msn.com" style="color: #6633ff; text-decoration: none;">meandpete@msn.com</a></span></div>
