Acrylic Painting Workshop- Painting Pansies

Join us at Studio B for a spring-inspired project

In this workshop, you will learn how to mix colors and make color swatches using acrylic paint. We will be using real pansies to inspire our art, loosely sketching our flowers and then painting them on salvaged fabric!

A fun way to practice sketching, painting, and using recycled materials. I will provide denim and a variety of fabrics with different weights and textures to use as our substrate. We will also have an assortment of spring images to use for additional little paintings, such as tulips, birds, rabbits, and nests.

I'll provide examples and materials. Sign up with a friend or come and make new ones! My classes are designed to bring people together to create. Perfect for beginners on up—acrylic paint is very forgiving, and it is a fun medium to explore!

Collaging Workshop

Create a trio of collage/mixed media artworks on salvaged boards

In this fun workshop, we will use a variety of paper and mixed media to create a trio of collages on salvaged wood.

We will choose images from my cache of magazines and use them as a starting point for our collages. We will add paper scraps, ephemera, and hand-painted botanical motifs to wood blocks to create unique artworks.

Mixed media is so fun—you will have access to pastels, markers, gold ink and paint, as well as acrylic paint and papers. These are one of my favorite projects, and mixed media is my favorite way to create! Join us for this fun class!

All materials will be provided—just show up and have fun!

Have you ever noticed how much paper we use and toss every day? There are so many different kinds of paper that we come across and discard. In this class, we will collect and put to use scraps of paper from everyday life. We will use our paper to make patterned paper, to doodle, and to play. Junk journal style, we will collect and gather our bits and pieces and create assemblages.

Junk journals are an informal and fun way to get started and get creative. They can be a scrapbook of sorts, holding ticket stubs, stickers, and little bits and bobs that hold meaning. They can be a place to assemble and hold little drawings, to practice doodles, or to mess about with paint. Junk journals are no pressure—because they are not meant to hang on a wall or to be displayed. They are just a non-threatening place to work in when you just have a little bit of time or you just want to test out new paint colors.

All materials will be provided—I have a huge stash of salvaged paper—gift wrap, magazines, flyers, tissue paper, brown bags…as well as sketching pencils, colored pencils, and paint for us to explore.

You will have multiple options for your actual journal:

  • Bring one from home, either purchased or made from a salvaged book

  • I will have a variety of blank books ranging from simple and plain to vintage to a bit more for purchase onsite. Prices between $5-25.

This class is only two hours, but hopefully it can inspire you to start an art journal that you will continue to fill with your own treasures!

Start off the new year with a vision board! A fun way to set goals and express yourself, vision boards are a representation of your dreams, goals, and overall vibe.

We will take time to gather inspiring images and then use them to create our own beautiful collages!

Spend a few minutes thinking about dreams and wishes. What kinds of things do you want to accomplish? Have you always wanted to travel? Learn to knit or learn a language? Read more? Organize, cook, run a marathon? What do you find inspiring? It can be as simple as a beautiful sunset or flowers. Color, texture, shapes—all of these things can form a picture when you put them together. Your vision board can clarify and motivate you to do big things or small and they are fun to reflect on.

Examples and materials will be provided. Sign up with a friend or come and make new ones! My classes are designed to bring people together to create. Perfect for beginners on up—there is no wrong way to do a vision board!
