Weekend of Art at Papercraft Clubhouse in Connecticut

This past weekend I taught two all-day art classes at Papercraft Clubhouse.  It's a fabulous store with a great owner and I had a ton of fun.  Grab a cup of coffee and sit back as you scroll through all the fabulous color and pattern!

As always, the joy of taking (and teaching) a class is not just in the learning.  It's the sharing, socializing, camaraderie, and getting to spend the day with people who "get" you and speak your language!!

If you'd like to take an in-person class with me, I'm teaching at The Ink Pad in NYC on March 29 and at Scrapbook Centrale in Canada April 17-19.  That's all the teaching gigs I've booked for the year.  I might take on 1 or 2 more gigs in the Fall, but that's pretty much it.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Those pages are GORGEOUS and that wall of stencils makes me drool!
    I love most of the patterns, like all and I especially like the journal that is on the worded pages. Glad to hear that you (may) be getting more down time by not doing as many classes.

  • This is seriously kick butt art! So much colorful and awesome eye candy!
    It’s hard for me to get into the city on the weekends. Maybe you could come out to Long Island? 😉

  • Loved all the wonderful pictures. I envy having all the great art supplies available. My small town doesn’t have much and mail order is so expensive. So I have to improvise. Love, love, all your work!

  • Wow!! Look at that store! Look at those women having fun! I think I should move. Wish we had a store like that in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Love all the work, particularly the one with the wood grained background.

  • What wonderful results the sudents get! If you ever come to the Seattle area to teach, I’m IN! Videos are fun, but there’s nothing like a real person egging one on to make art!

  • How fun — got to really see some of the work and it’s all so joyful! Thank you for wonderful classes — you shared not only your skill and talent, but YOURSELF and you are a very inspiring woman. I agree with Patty and think a trip back this fall for junk journals and stamps is a ‘must do’ – get the calendars out Tracie (please). Thanks again to you and Papercraft Clubhouse for a creative, memorable weekend.
