Learn a variety of techniques, ideas and approaches as you work on a specially developed project in this workshop. You will learn ideas and techniques that can be applied to ANY art form.

In this unique all day workshop, you will create a lavishly layered book full of color, paper, text, paint, stencils and everything with which we can get our hands dirty with.

We'll combine all new layers of collage, color, text and images onto the pages. We'll learn how to push, pull and rework the pages, digging deep and discovering new visual delights on each and every page. This is the class you have been waiting for.

Instructor Provided (for use in-class, and to share):

  • Kelly doesn't travel light and will be bringing acrylics, acrylic mediums, stencils, rubber stamps, ink pads, pens, markers and all of the necessary materials to create the project (bookbinding supplies, paper, etc...) to all of the classes.
