I am tickled, delighted, astonished, and thoroughly happy to be teaching at Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine's very first CREATE mixed media retreat! Honestly, when Pokey called me and invited me to teach I couldn't wipe the grin off my face for a week. So many wonderful artist/teachers will be there including some of my faves! The teacher bios read like a "who's who" of the mixed media world! Or at least a who's who of my bookshelf!
I will be teaching two classes.
"Paint Stitch Tape" on Wednesday, August 25 from 9am -4pm
We’re going to get messy! Come and put together a fabulous paper and fabric journal while learning lots of my favorite techniques. We’ll be mixing fabric and paper without sitting down at the sewing machine, doodling with our paintbrushes, creating fabric and paper flowers, decorating with simple embroidery, cutting our own stencils, sewing our book binding, and so much more! Come explore how fun and easy it is to build up layers of paint and tape and embroidery floss!
"Painted Face Canvas" on Thursday, August 26 from 6-9pm
We’ll create a fun and fast collage background using old book pages and then it’s on to the main event: painting the face! Even if you think you can’t draw, come and learn this easy technique to layer watercolor and gesso to create an artsy and stylized face.
I'm hoping to stay for the weekend and take some classes once I'm done teaching. There's too much fun stuff going on not to stay and play!
At this time registration is open to people who want to participate in the entire retreat. In addition to the ability to take as many classes as possible, this option offers a discount if you register before May 11. This will allow participants who join us for an entire weekend to have first access to all workshops. On May 12 registration will open up for individual session registration. So whatever your choice, come and play with me in Chicago this summer!

Wish I could join you but I’ll be in the south of France at the end of August this year (I know, it’s a tough life) But I would love to take a class with you some day!

Your classes look like so much fun! I just looked over the info on the retreat. WOW! Wish I could go for the whole 4 days. Because of my physical challenges I am calling friends to see who would like to go with me (need a driver and maybe wheelchair pusher). Hope to go, but if not c’est la vive. Love your art!
