AUGUST 24th 10:00am - 2:00pm
DANCING RUBBER FISH
Expanding the methods of multi-color printing with multi-color embossing and watercolor additions, this class is geared toward the experienced student, though could be considered a "sink or swim" lesson for beginners. (There will also be a short demonstration on how to make colored transparent powders using alcohol inks.) Bring tool kit. Optional: if you want to bring some favorite medium to big stamps and embossing powders. Otherwise all materials will be provided. ($55)

AUGUST 24th 3:30pm - 7:00pm
SPRITZ ME, BABY...MO' BETTAH!
Finding merit in the "less is more" concept and the power of imprecision, this class focuses on the soluble properties of markers and other water-based media to achieve watercolor effect using rubber stamps. Bleaching out imagery on black paper, then reintroducing color with high contrast accents is also tackled to achieve startling effects. Bring tool kit, apron, and broad-tipped water-based markers (light, medium and dark). Optional: if you want to try some of your favorite medium to large stamps. you will be using Clorox and if wish, bring gloves and eye protection. ($55)
