A to Z of Cardmaking.....

... is the course I'm teaching at Southend Adult Community College starting next monday... the course descriptor is:

"A for Aperture, B for Buttons, C for Cards, D for Die-Cutting... you get the idea.  This course will cover many techniques and ideas about card making, and if you're wondering: Z is for Zipper!"

(cards shown are for illustrative purposes only)

Its suitable for all abilities, though of course some experience in cardmaking is useful.... I think this is going to be a fun way of learning!

The course runs for 10 weeks on Monday evenings - 2 hours of dedicated learning and card making - sounds good to me!

I really like teaching at the College- its a great learning environment.. I hope you can join me.  Contact the College (click on the college name at the top of this blogpost) for more details or to book.

The Leigh Art Trail & Southend Adult Community College

... every year the shops and Artist Studios of Leigh-on-Sea display the work of local artists... as part of this massive art exhibition Southend Adult Community College (SACC) displays the work of students.
The Student Exhibition used to be much bigger - displayed on 2 sites, taking up several (lots of) rooms - coordinating/hanging the exhibition used to be my job (but I gave it up) so this year it was quite refreshing to only be responsible for displaying my students work... I don't miss the stress involved but I do miss the interaction with everyone and seeing the pleasure and sense of achievement the students get from seeing their work displayed in an exhibition.

The work of students on the 'Dimensional Cards' class:

The students created some lovely pieces over the five week course... lots of measuring, folding, cutting & creating.  Well done to the students - the work was well received.  :o)

Sorry I don't have photos of the other exhibits - but I'm sure if you headed over to the SACC website there would be some there.  :o)
