I am delighted to be returning to teach at The Ink Pad here in NYC. This is the last East Coast class I will be teaching for about a year.
Ruin and Rescue
an all day art journaling workshop
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” could 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.
Students Should Bring:
- Journal (old or new)
- 6-10 colors of acrylic paint (including black) – any brand
- Collage Materials: book pages, scrapbook paper, telephone book pages, newspaper, security envelopes, photos, photocopies
- 6-10 sheets of plain white cardstock
- Wide Masking Tape
- Gesso
- Permanent Black Pen
- Pencil and White Eraser
- Bristle Paintbrushes: Small Round, Medium Round, Large Flat
- Container for Water
- Matte Medium
- Scissors
- Paper Plate or other paint palette
- Cosmetic Sponges
Here are the exact brands I use from the list above:
             |
Optional for Students to Bring:
- Discarded Art Projects: Small projects on paper or fabric that didn’t work out or you no longer wish to finish.
- Anything that’s on your “must-have” art journaling list (favorite pens, spray inks, stamps, stencils, craft knife, washi tape, etc.)
- Heat Gun, Extension Cord, Power Strip
- Apron
- Baby Wipes, Paper Towel, or a Rag
- Black China Marker
- Watersoluble Pencil (my fave is Stabilo)
- Wax Paper (to keep your pages from sticking)
- Gelli Plate & Brayer
Again, here are the specific brands I use from the list above:
                            |
ETA: It's September 29, 2012 from 10am -5pm.
Contact The Ink Pad (212·463·9876) if you'd like to sign-up. I'd love to have you in class!
Thanks for stopping by!

I wish I could be there! I love the idea of “ruin and rescue” 🙂 I have a challenge on my art journaling blog, along these lines. Someone in one of my classes, “ruined” her page – you can see the picture on my blog. I thought it was a fantastic “disaster”, but she didn’t, so I uploaded the photo as a challenge, asking people how they would continue it. The post is here: http://www.yomanihayakar.co.il/?p=484

Aw lady, you’re killin’ me!
A class with you (such an inspiration) and at The Ink Pad (my favorite stop on trips to NY). Why oh why can’t I be visiting NY while you’re teaching this class?!
OK, if I win the lotto this weekend, I’m catchin’ a flight. Deal? 😉

Looks like a class that I could use.
Now deli paper is something I need as a staple in my crafty room.
