Hi everyone! I wanted to let y'all know that I'll be teaching some of my absolute favorite mixed-media layering, shading and image transfer techniques on June 19th in So. Cal. at the Santa Clarita Craft Lab.  The class is called "Hearts of Fire - Mixed Media Imagery."

The collage we'll be making is a simple heart image with wings and a crown (students are encouraged to change it up any way they wish).

At first, I just made one sample, but feared that some students might feel a need to duplicate it (and if I'm honest, even *I* can't do it that way a second time!) So, using the same box of supplies and identical techniques, I created two different mixed media plaques. One is brightly colored and the other has a "steampunk" feel to it (complete with a moving spinner).  Hopefully, by creating two looks from the same techniques and supplies will show students how they can copy a technique while letting their own styles come through!

Wanna sign up?

The class is $40 per student (includes all supplies**), and is limited to 10 students. Go to santaclaritacraftlab.com and check out the June calendar, or just contact them (Tuesday through Sunday) to reserve your spot today!
