Craft Napa Workshops

 



I love to teach virtually or in person. Last week I gave two workshops through CraftNapa virtually to a very talented group of artists. We shared good laughs. Some couldn't be present, luckily it was recorded so they watched the recording and worked at their own pace. 

The projects for both classes were made with mixed media materials. It's amazing how each student put their own twist and created something different. It was fun!




Craft Napa 2022 *Uncorked at Home Workshops*

 I will be teaching two classes at Craft Napa this coming January:


Create your own *secret* mixed -media book. First, we will learn how to paint, mark and sew by hand colorful Evolon (a non-woven, flexible textile), then, we will incorporate the inside pockets and applied messages. You will end up with an artful book full of pouches where you can store your ideas, adventures, goals and deepest secrets.


Learn a plethora of techniques: mark making with foils (cold foil technique-no need of the iron), cheesecloth skins three ways: hand-calligraphy, graffiti and labels (how to applique and sew them on a quilt) applique translucent designs (how to work with delicate fabric) and iron on details with TAP (transfer artist paper). Add simple hand-stitching and create a striking mixed media piece of art.
