Class: Muerto Shrine with Anne Engelhardt and Cheryl Valadez

Anne Engelhardt and I will join forces for our third collaborative project this Saturday.  This time we've created a festive Dia de los Muertos shrine to celebrate the upcoming holiday.  

Anne will begin the day by showing you how to construct and paper the shrine, and emboss the beautiful metal border that decorates the perimeter.  Yes, the box base is made from scratch and you'll learn the intricacies from the master of paper engineering herself.

In the afternoon, I'll take over and we'll finish out our shrines by completing a whimsical scene for the inside and adding a bit of bling to the outside.  We'll even use a couple of Copic colors to brighten up the corners.

This piece is designed to hang on the wall and will add a festive feel to any room.

Bring your regular class kit, but be sure to add a craft knife and a pair of super sturdy scissors such as Tonic or Tim Holtz brands.  These are absolute MUSTS.

October 8th, Saturday:  10:00am - 5:00pm with a brief break for lunch on your own 

The Book As Sculpture w/ Anne Engelhardt and Cheryl Valadez

This class is back by popular request.  One difference from the original class will be the color scheme...think bright pops of purple and soft shades of lilac.  In the morning session, Anne will teach the fundamentals of constructing an accordion fold book, along with the lovely decorative text paper flower stems.  In the afternoon, I'll jump in to add decorative panels and embellishments featuring a unique reverse embossing technique.  

August 3rd, Wednesday:  10:00am - 4:00pm (class fee is $58.00 and covers both sessions)

Class: The Collaboration w/ Anne Engelhardt and Cheryl Valadez

Anne Engelhardt and I will team up once again to bring you a collaborative project featuring fabulous techniques from each of our paper arsenals.  I'll begin the class in the morning and we'll make four elegant cards featuring images by Tim Holtz and hand decorated accent paper.

Anne will take over in the afternoon use her paper wizardry to show you how to create the frame using her trademark Washi papers, finish the assembly of the project, and embellish it with lovely paper flowers and decorative glass pebbles.  This class is certain to be a day filled with fun and creativity!

    

June 4th, Saturday:  10:00am - 4:00pm (class fee $56.00 for the entire day)

Coloring is minimal, but we will be using Copics in light blues, greens, and rose hues.  Also, please add a Vintage Photo Distress Ink pad to your kit along with a sponge for application.  

Class: Dos-a-Dos Coptic Stitch Book with Anne Engelhardt

Anne Engelhardt returns to CP2 Saturday morning to share this ancient bookbinding art form.  Coptic book binding methods date back to the 2nd century AD, developed by early Christians in Egypt (thank you, Wikipedia!).  Anne adds a dash of her paper wizardry and creates not one, but two books bound together to become one truly unique project.  The addition of Anne's elegant trademark papers elevate the beauty and craftsmanship of this piece even further.  Keep this clever journal for yourself or give it to someone special, though it will undoubtedly be difficult to part with.  Bring your book making kit:  scissors, pencil, metal edge ruler, awl, and glue paper.  Anne will provide linen thread, needles and good paper glue.

April 16th, Saturday:  10:00am - 12:00pm ($25.00)   

Class: The Book as Sculpture with Anne Engelhardt and Cheryl Valadez

Anne and I are teaming up this Saturday to teach a very special collaborative class.  We have combined our knowledge and skills to create an intriguing one-of-a-kind display featuring book making materials, exquisite washi papers, delicate newsprint blossoms, clean geometric designs with pops of color, and bold Asian inspired floral images.


Anne begins her artistic paper engineering wizardry by showing you how to create the fabulous accordion book form that will act as the beautiful base to the decorative images and embellishments.  She will also teach you how to take a modest gift of nature, a simple bare branch, and transform it into an elegant flowering decorative element.  A technique that can be used again and again to adorn your favorite paper and book projects.    


In the afternoon, I will step in and teach you an embossing resist technique that showcases fabulous background imagery and provides a lovely base for our bold Asian inspired florals.  We'll also work with a number of nature oriented haiku that help to set the tone of our project.  Numerous embellishments and more lovely papers finish off our special accordion book.


Be sure to bring your class kit and stock up on adhesives (tape runner, Diamond Glaze, etc.) and also add Vintage Photo and Antique Linen Distress Ink pads plus sponge applicators.  If there are additions to this list, specifically the accordion book side of the project, I will add those shortly, so be sure to check back later in the week.

Class: Beauteous Book with Anne Engelhardt

I apologize for the delay in posting the details and photos for Anne's Staurday afternoon class. I am sure, however, you'll take one look at this beautiful book and forget all about being upset with me ;D Anne has proven herself, once again, to be the Paper Sorceress and whipped up a project so impressive and professional looking that your friends and family will not believe it was made by hand. These pictures do not do this gorgeous book justice, as it needs to be seen in person to really capture how wonderful it is. It has a sewn binding and Anne uses lots of her signature Washi and specialty papers to create the pages inside. When I took these photos, I literally went through each page, one at a time, admiring the craftsmanship. You won't find a beautiful, one of a kind, handmade book of this caliber at any of the stationary stores!
