January Topic: Stamps, Beyond the Ink Pad

Saturday, Jan 19^th

10:30 a.m. to 1:30 pm

Call the store to sign up: 623.847.2215. A little birdie told me there is only one spot open. If it fills up and you are interested, give them your name and we will add a 2nd date.

 Join me for the first class in a year-long  Art
Journaling Inspiration series! At each class, we’ll explore a topic to
inspire and fuel your art journaling and other mixed-media topics.

 In January we’re going to explore one of our favorite
addictions, rubber stamps. But we are going to go beyond the ink pad and use
stamps with Pan Pastels, acrylic paints, Neocolor II crayons, and Faber Castell
gelatos. I will show you techniques for creating and then we will build finished
pages on top of our stamping–that means we’ll consider color, composition and
layers as we finish our work.

 Please bring:

Basic tool kit: Ranger craft sheet, paint brushes,
rag/cloth, pencil, scissors, water container to clean your brushes

Your art journal (I recommend the Dylusions journal by
Ranger)

Gesso

Acrylic paints

Rubber stamps–bring your “muses.” I will have some to
share, too!

Black Ink Pad (I like Archival by Ranger)

Pen(s) for journaling onto your pages

 

I will have to share
with the class:
