Saturday, February 4: Join me in Santa Ana, CA!

A few months ago I mentioned that I'd be teaching at Jenny Doh's, the extraordinary artist and long time previous editor-in-chief of Somerset Studio.  Class sold out in about two days.  Well, Jenny quietly opened up a few more seats now that we're in the big Studio CrescendoH space!!  So here it is, an awesome new class that I hope will get you excited!

Ruin & Rescue

1-Day Workshop on Saturday, February 4, 2012
in Studio CRESCENDOh

"Over the years, I have learned that my art journal is a great place for artistic experiments. It's all about ruin and rescue. By discovering that virtually all "mistakes" can be "fixed," I gained confidence and lost the fear of ruining my artwork. Come and spend the day learning a panoply of techniques for layering, collaging, doodling, and creating wonderful new things from the ashes of old projects." — Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

LOCATION:
Studio CRESCENDOh in the Artist Village of
Santa Ana, California

SCHEDULE:

  • Arrive & Settle: 8:30 :: Time for students to arrive, settle in, and grab a cup of coffee.
  • Class Segment A: 9:00-12:00 :: Class time with Julie who will demonstrate and guide the 1st part of class.
  • Lunch & Stroll: 12:00 PM :: You can choose to brown bag it or take a stroll to one of the many hip and artsy eateries in the historic Artist's Village in Santa Ana, like The Gypsy Den, or Lola Gaspar.
  • Class Segment B: 1:30-4:00 PM :: Class time with Julie who will guide the 2nd part of class.
  • Show & Tell, Clean-Up & Depart: 4:00-5:00 PM

You can read Jenny's post about the class here.  You can sign up here.  I believe that there are just three or four seats left.  I encourage you to come and spend the day laughing, learning, and making art.  It's going to be a blast!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you in class!

P.S. I will have some of my **new** Balzer Designs for Crafter's Workshop stencils available for purchase at class!

  • Your title made me think of a childrens’ book that should be mandatory for all adults. It is called Beautiful Oops and shows what you can do with mistakes. Short, beautiful, and sooooo meaningful. I came across it on an art teachers blog called Vividlayers and pinned it to pinterest which you got me hooked on! Another great place to get inspiration to get going with your own fun.

  • Hiya!
    I requested to be on the waiting list. If I am not lucky enough to get into the class, is it possible to drop in for some retail therapy? Nobody in my area seems to be carrying your stencils .
