I'm going to be teaching three classes at the Paper&Co Show in France November 26, 27 and 28.  Yay!

All classes are two hours long.

Collage Painting

Image-face
We’ll create a fun and fast collage background 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 create a pleasing face on an 8×10 canvas.

Creative Masking & Stenciling

Image-stencil
In this hands-on class, we’ll be mixing up commercial stencils and masks with ones we cut ourselves! Whether you’re a newbie or an expert, there will be plenty to learn and lots of fun to be had playing with what you see and what you don’t!

Distress Ink Exploration

Image-Distress
Ranger Distress Ink is more than just ink to stamp with. Come and learn how to push your ink pads to reach their potential! I will share a ton of fabulous techniques with you and you will leave the class with a mini album made from beautiful tags, ready to be filled with your photos and memories! 

Registration is open now.  There are some fabulous teachers.  I'm very much looking forward to going.  It has been several years since I've been to Paris.  And the retreat looks like it will be tons of fun.  At the end, everyone gets a booklet with all the instructions for every single class!  Pretty amazing.

(And as a side note, if you're a European reader and are interested in having me teach at your local crafty establishment while I'm on that side of the ocean, email me!)

Thanks for stopping by!
