It is designed to share the enjoyment ofmixed media techniques from drawing, painting, collaging, stenciling, spraying, stamp carving and printmaking and much more. I teach you how to draw and paint quirky faces and figures, and we layer against collaged backgrounds to make meaningful visual journals. I motivate you to tell your own unique story in words and pictures. Materials Kit & Kaboodle* (upon registration), will get you started and you will need to bring some basic materials from the list provided on registration.

Book of Hours:Planner

Carve your own set of ancient printable stamps to use in your journal/planner. Monthly meet-ups with creative others will be well anticipated as we combine writing styles, learn funky lettering fonts and recollections with illustrations, based on your monthly events.
