Encaustic Tag Accordion Book

$35

Come and play with stamping and beeswax. We’ll be making six encaustic tags (acrylic paint, spray ink, beeswax…oh my!) and then putting them in a simple accordion book. You can definitely learn these techniques and then apply them to your art journaling. Fun!

 
Supplies Students Need to Bring:
–Standard Crafting tool kit (scissors, exacto knife & small mat, paint brushes, pencil, etc.)
–White acrylic gesso
–Gel medium
–Acrylic paint in your favorite colors
–A small collection of collage papers & fabrics that appeal to you. I will bring my standard box of papers, but your project will be more personal if you use papers & fabrics that you like.
–Any of your favorite stamps. I will bring an assortment for class use, but bring any that you like as well.
–Black ink pad. I used a Versafine pigment pad. 
–OPTIONAL If you have an encaustic iron, please bring it. I will have 2 for class use, but if you have your own, you won’t have to wait in line.

Graffiti Of My Life

$40

Come and make a small themed journal based on the "Graffiti of My Life"….the words, quotes, song lyrics, etc. that are meaningful to you. We'll be making free-flowing backgrounds, tipped-in inclusions, and confined collages to decorate our journals.

Supplies Students Need to Bring:
–Standard Crafting tool kit (scissors, exacto knife & small mat, paint brushes, pencil, etc.)
–White acrylic gesso
–Gel medium (a must for this class….essential to one of the collage techniques)
–Acrylic paint in your favorite colors
–4 sheets of printed paper, such as pages from an old book, sheet music, newspaper…anything printed.
–A small collection of collage papers & fabrics that appeal to you. I will bring my standard box of papers, but your journal will be more personal if you use papers & fabrics that you like.
–A pen that will write over dried paint for journaling in the album.
–I will bring my sewing machine for sewing, but you can bring a needle & embroidery floss for hand-sewing (if you wish)
–Quotes, song lyrics, sage words of advice….any text that is meaningful to you in your life. You can just bring a list so you can hand-write it in your journal, and you can type it & print it and use the print-out in your journal.
