In an effort to help out independent craft stores and also continue to provide access to social distancing-friendly live mixed media classes, I've partnered with Artistic Artifacts in Alexandria, VA to bring you a live online workshop offered via private Facebook group.
Class was held November 7, 2020
Registration is now closed.
Registration is now closed.
We'll combine paper and fabric (or choose just one or the other) along with stamps, stitching (optional,) collage, embellishments, mark making, and more as we create our own hardbound folio and a flip-book full of smaller, layered pieces of artwork. I'll also share techniques and ideas for creating your own unique embellishments.

In the pre-workshop video we'll make our folios and begin the process of creating our own embellishments (or thinking about using and / or layering pre-made items.) During the main live workshop we'll complete our folios, ending with a unique piece of artwork that can be displayed, tucked onto a bookshelf, or given as a gift.

- Upon registration and payment (handled by Artistic Artifacts,) you will receive a link to join our private Facebook group.
- Join in, meet, and interact with other students.
- About one to two weeks before the official live class, there will be a live bonus video to demonstrate the hard-bound folio and various embellishment ideas and techniques. (This will be archived in the group if you can't join live.)
- The live, 2-1/2 hour class will be taught through a Facebook Live video in our private classroom.
- Work along with me and ask questions via posts and comments.
- More than 4 hours of live demos - that's the equivalent of a full day in-person workshop, plus the added feedback and community interaction.
- Get a downloadable folio template to create the case for your journal.
- Learn fun and easy background techniques and explore different ways to combine fabric, paper, and dimensional embellishments.
- A coupon for either 10% off your order OR Free US Shipping for the Artistic Artifacts online shop (See FAQ for details)
- Videos, questions, comments, and projects are available indefinitely. You can re-watch later - as often as you'd like!
- Share photos of your in-progress and finished projects for feedback from me and other class members.
If there's anything on the supply list that you need or want (or you just want to browse and do some fun shopping!) head over to the Artistic Artifacts website for links to many of the supplies on this list.

Q: How long will the Facebook group be available after the Live video is over? A: The group will remain open for you to re-watch the videos and ask questions indefinitely. All videos and posts will be archived and the group will not close. Q: When will I get the coupon and how many times can I use it? A: The coupon will be shared in the Facebook group after registration and the group have both been opened. The coupon can be used only by class members and only once per person. You can choose between 10% off your order OR free shipping (within the US.) It's good through December 7, 2020. Q: Can I register after the live class is over?

You can always watch later if you can't join live. Q: When will I get access to the Facebook group?
