Happening this week (Feb 3rd edition)!

Fred’s Fish: Elizabeth Forbes

Friday, Feb 7: 10:30am-4pm

$45.00
 

Liz learned this technique from Fred Mullett himself and he has okayed her teaching it! The reason that Fred’s fish stamps are so notable is that he practices the ancient Japanese art of Gyotaku to get his super realistic images.

Gyotaku is a method of pressing the paint-covered “subject” onto paper… nature paints the image. Well, fortunately, we get to use the image without dealing with dead fish!

Wear old clothes &/or an apron – bleach is involved. Also, bring your stamp positioner if you have one. The goal is for you to do some practice and then have a frameable piece. Liz assures me that this technique involves many steps, but none are difficult.

Class Journal: Nancy Y:

Wednesday, Jan 15: 1:30-4:00 PM….$27.50 and.....

Saturday, February 1: 10:30 AM-1:30 PM

$27.50

If you missed the first class, be sure and catch it this go round. You will use the Zutter Bind-It-All for a sturdy wire binding and washi paper for the cover.  There will be both black and white interior pages. Obviously, you can use your journal as you wish.

Nancy designed it to be a journal for taking class notes and says "I don’t know about you, but I like taking notes in class to aid my memory when I want to repeat a technique. Unfortunately, I have never been really systematic about this and I’ve written notes on whatever was at hand and they’ve never been collected into one folder or book." 

This journal is planned so that you can put your sample made in class on a black page and write your notes on the white. There will also be a couple of pocket pages for hand-outs.

Advanced Techniques with Stencils: Liz Forbes:
Saturday, Oct 5: 10 AM- 1 PM

You’ll make two very special cards. Your first card features a dark and stormy night with crows planning mischief. It entails using a stencil with embossing paste and stamping. It also has an unusual closure. This could be sent for fall, Halloween, or just because it is a cool card. (Liz wrote the message poem!)

The second card teaches stamping and embossing on ribbon. It’s a wonderful holly background with the Merry Christmas ribbon across the front.

Class: Duck Tape Bound Book with Nancy Yoshimoto

Join Nancy Friday morning and create this fun project that you will probably be able to complete before lunch.  You can leave or you can stay and stamp. This book has space between the pages so you can use it for your deeply layered images. Nancy has a number of the Jumbo Flower stamps from Stampendous! that just beg to be layered. This would be a perfect display book for those thicker cards with extra embellishments.  Visit the shop to see a sample of this book up close and be sure to sign up.
