I had a ton of fun last weekend teaching my "Painted Paper Collage" class at The Ink Pad here in NYC.
I had a lot of fun hanging out with a fantastic group of women who were brave and creative and silly and all around wonderful.
My friend Jenn Mason came to class as my assistant and surprised me with this adorable video she put together about the class. Before I post it, I do have to say that my Mom told me not to post it because Jenn caught me saying "h-e-double hockey sticks" and Mom said, "You sound crass." Unfortunately, I don't always listen to my Mom (sorry, Mom) so here is the video, with the real crass me in it. I apologize in advance if you're offended.
If you'd like to take an in-person class with me, I've got a last-minute addition to my schedule with a class at The Ink Pad at the end of this month and my Canadian classes will open for registration on Saturday! I often have students who travel from all sorts of far away places to come to class, so don't let geography be a barrier!

- NEW March 29, 2015 (at The Ink Pad in NYC): Make a Junque Journal

It was awesome to get a look inside of one of your classes! Don’t worry about those hickey sticks. It’s the real world!

Good Grief! How many lucky souls were there? Looked like at least 30! It looked like they were all having a great time, too! I think the energy you bring to teaching is passed on to your students! And, about being crass–you GO! girl!

That looked like an extremely fun arty experience! Thanks for sharing your class. And thanks to Jenn for a really neat video. I really want to take a class with you in person! I’m tempted to come to NYC for the junque journal class except I already took that class online… And loved it!

Thanks for the great experience. My sister and I traveled to NY for the class and we had the BEST time! A great use of our annual art trip. I’m still geeking out over it and officially a newly addicted Gelli plate user.

Do you have any plans to come to Southern Indiana? St Louis MO, Louisville KY or Cincinnati OH I could make it to all those places if you came. And It kills me to see folks using the raindrop stencil. I want the big one or the little one so much- but can’t find it anywhere!!
