It was 101 at 6pm, but we really can see that Fall is coming, the sun has moved in the sky & the heat feels a little different too.
We are heating up in another way! We are hosting Jen Zdanis Starr in October for workshops in Phoenix and we are VERY EXCITED!
Make sure to stay tuned and learn how to register for classes. www.AlteredPages.com Home Page has class registrations.
3 AND 4 HOUR CLASSES WILL BE HELD.
Here are some of the topics:
BOOT CAMPS for MIXED MEDIA plus take home finished projects ~
In the truly MIXED MEDIA Boot camp workshop we will journey through the world of water based dye inks…sprays, stains, ink pads, etc. Exploring much further than just the basic techniques, the focus will be on MIXING your mediums with other products to create some beautiful effects that will translate to all of your projects whether you are a card maker, scrapbooker, art journaler or dabble in everything!
Take home examples -
In the Creative Banner workshop you will explore stunning mixed media techniques to create effects that sparkle and shimmer while you make a one of a kind 1x3 ft butterfly themed pennant for your wall! You will be working with mists and Jen's line of Dimensional Crystal paints from Art Anthology plus a variety of goodies from Viva Décor to add details. Your finished project will be so full of dimension and texture that the butterflies will seem to come to life!
You can create a painted, crackling, stenciled, highly textured masterpiece on this 8x12 canvas incorporating a variety of techniques and products from Viva Décor and the brand new Jumbo floral die from Tim Holtz for the Canvas flower. We will focus on mixing media such as Ferro, Inka Gold, and Crackle to achieve layers of beautiful depth that just glow.
Make sure to check this coming week for more announcements.
