…I'll be in Canada! In Toronto, to be exact. I'll be teaching and…well, they're some of my last in-person classes. At least for now. I've decided to severely limit my in-person teaching in 2012. I *love* teaching, but all the travel and prep is killing me. So get it while it's hot!
I'll be teaching THREE classes at BizzyB up in Toronto, Canada!
All three classes show you very different techniques, so you're definitely going to have to take all of them! C'mon who doesn't want to spend a weekend giggling and splashing around in paint?
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30:
Funky Art Cards (3 hour class)
We’ll make seven gorgeous cards in just three hours! Wow! You’ll learn simple techniques that lead to awesome artsy results. Julie will share some of her favorite techniques with you, including ideas for doodling, hand cutting, creating dimension, and using stencils. Even if you’re not a card maker, you’ll take home fun and easy techniques that you can use on your scrapbook pages or in your art journal.
Here's a better look at the cards:
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1:
Stamped & Stenciled Pocket Book
(6 hour class, plus a 1 hour lunch break)
In this class Julie will show you how to make your own gorgeous “papers with personality” using stamps and stencils. The emphasis is on working in layers, understanding water solubility, color mixing, and creating pleasing compositions. Julie will also share how to make your own totally fabulous handmade tape. We will use that tape to bind a hand-bound-no- sew-pocket-filled journal! That’s right! You can make this gorgeous 6×9 book with absolutely no sewing! There are six front facing pockets that hold long cards for journaling. And one side facing memorabilia pocket in the front cover. And this book even opens up to allow for a row of photos or memorabilia to be pasted onto the backs of the pocket pages.
And some more photos:
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2:
Painted Paper Collage
(6 hour class, plus a 1 hour lunch break)
The first half of class will be spent creating our own unique papers for collage. We’ll be flinging paint, doodling, and creating patterns. In the second half of class I’ll show you how easy it is to create recognizable images with your collaged papers. You will leave class with TWO completed canvases! Whee!
More photos:
Contact BizzyB if you're interested in coming to play! Most supplies are included in the price of the class! Which if you've ever taken a class from me, is highly highly highly unusual!
Hope to see you there!
Wish I was in Canada, or even near, so I could take the classes!!!!!

I especially like how you used the zen tangle clouds on the oh happy day card.
I envy all the travel that you do but can understand how you would want to cut down on your world travels in 2012.

I’ve taken Julie’s classes in the painted pocket journal and the painted collage papers and alls I can say is: OMG. It was a real thrill to leave class beaming with new abilities and insights that Julie expertly revealed to me in my own work. Outstanding. I’m turning into one of these people who would take a certain course again and again; Julie is so fun and encourages all forms of play. You won’t be disappointed Canada!

Completed Julie’s card class on Friday and I came away with 7 cards and tonnes of information and techniques. After several attempts at finding my “card” style over the years this class has liberated me to connect to how I want to create cards.
Julie’s ability to break down techniques into visual cues so others can learn is a gift. Her design ingenuity and willingness to share her creativity and ideas is a rare quality. Thanks again, and again Julie.
