Class schedule through December

Greetings Everyone!

Yes its time to publish my teaching and events schedule for the next month and a half.  Its starts this Sunday with two old classes that I'm reviving by popular request.  Please note that I will be participating in the Colony of Coastside artists open studio event next Saturday and Sunday November 19th and 20th.  I will be offering for sale some of my larger pieces of collage and assemblage.  Also on Saturday December 3rd I will be participating in the Farallone view holiday bazaar.  This will be in support of the school as well as myself.
At Farallone View I will be offering many smaller items like mini collages and altoid tin assemblages as well as favorites like dominos and shrink plastic jewelry.  On December 10th and 11th I will be offering a brand new class called Texture in a Big Way.  For all my advanced texture/collage students this is the class you have been waiting for and even dreading for some time now.  We not only will combine textures but we will do this on a canvas at least 11 x 14 or larger!  You can view one of my large collage samples above.

ABC dinner/pictures

Greetings Everyone,

In the midst of the craziness of my packing, cleaning, showing, selling, packing,moving and unpacking there was one shining moment that helped me through it all.  Last month our Altered Books club group decided to celebrate the completion of our first round robin swap.  Basically it was our way of patting ourselves on the  back  for the actually finishing an 11month project.  Yes I said 11 months!
This group is absolutely remarkable.  With very few exceptions the artist growth that happened during the project was like nothing I've ever seen before.  And the art in each book is amazing. Move over Stampington
I'm afraid we've got you beat!

This project with this group was a special moment in time. It was a time of great friendship. laughter, mutual interest and artist growth.  Even now I look at my book with all the incredible art inside at least two to three times per week.  Everytime I look at it I feel renewed and inspired.  What can I say-these artists have left me in awe of the potential inside of every one of us. 
Yes it was a very special 11 months.  11 months of memories that I shall treasure always. 

Cheers everyone!

Trying to get back on track

Greetings everyone!

Vincent Van Skull and I are here to announce that I am once again bloggable.  Unfortunately I have joined the very large homeless club in the state of California. Be that as it may I am safely installed in my new rented digs about 5 miles up the road in Montara. I have finally broken through the surface after at least 4 months underwater doing the whole cleaning the house, showing the house, packing the house, and then moving the house thing. It was so totally life consuming  that now I am fighting to find my focus again and continue my art.

The current community that I'm living in is little more eclectic, a little colder and much foggier than the previous one.  Here are some views from my morning rambles around the area:

Alpacas

Crows in the fog.

Large Banana Slugs.

wonderful garden gates.

real fall leaves.

Cool Mossy trees

I forgot what it was like to have to move out of a place in which I was comfortable and happy. Its strange-but I feel disoriented, depressed and dispossessed.  I've been told that I have been very lucky to have found a nice if smaller place to live. Intellectually I know this is true.  My landlord is wonderful, the people around me are nice, its a beautiful area full of intriguing homes and Alpacas.  But this doesn't feel like luck. It feels like an essential part of me has been stolen  and now there is a huge void. No what is truely lucky for me is that I can fill that void with my art.  It is Art that I know will bring me focus again.  It is my art that will pull me out of my present depression and through any tough times ahead.

I will never forget that for me ART = Survival.

My classes and events for the next three weeks!

Altered Books class this weekend/Sunday Art Faire at the Winery

Greetings Everyone,

Late at the bat here as usual these days. Losing my home has me a little distracted right now. So I appologize. The potential move has made me understand that I do not do well as an artist while my surroundings are in turmoil. I can barely concentrate on art right now to tell you the truth. And having people in your home looking at it while you are not there is not a comfortable feeling.  It's really wierding me out!  I would like to thank all the people that emailed me to show support.  Fully half of those that emailed are in similar situations or have already gone through it.  Not that it makes me feel better about any of our situations but it does make me feel less alone. So Thank you.
Anyway I am now going to try to pull my thoughts together long enough for the weekend announcements.

This Saturday I will be starting my altered book series.  It runs twice per month for 5 sessions.  The cost for new students is discounted at $140.00 for all 5 classes.  If you have already taken this class and would like to participate again the cost is $50.00/5 classes just to cover my supplies.  Also the previous students can also attend any class they missed the first time around for the original price of $35.00. But please email me a week in advance so that I can get your materials together.  Here are the details as well as some class samples.

Saturday July 23rd

Instructor: Connie Andrews
Class: Altered Books (series of 5 classes)
Description: Have you ever heard the quotation “so many books so little time”? It’s never truer than when talking altered books! So what is an altered book? An altered book is creative reuse at its best. Think of all those unwanted books ready to be thrown away. Why waste them when you can turn them into works of art!
In this first class in the altered book series we will focus on what book to choose and where to find it, content, how to prepare and strengthen pages, what materials can be used and finally a full collage spread.
In this series of classes students will gradually build up an altered books “kit” of favorite supplies that will be handy for use at any time. This “kit” should be brought to every class.
Items to bring: First kit items to bring: Paint brushes, scissors and gel medium if you have it.
Time: 10:30 to 2:00
Fee: 140.00 for the 5 class series
To sign up for this class please email Connie at connie@isbjorn.com



On Sunday The Colony of Coastside Artists will again be at the La Nebbia Winery Art Faire.  La Nebbia Winery is located right on 12341 San Mateo Rd. just off of HIghway 92 in Half Moon Bay.  There will be wine, music, food and of course one of a kind shopping!  The event starts at about 11:00-12:00 until 5:00pm. Come on by and say hello and take a gander at some of the best art on the coast.  Here's a sampling of some of the items I will have for sale.

Collage

Mermaids under Glass

Bottled spirits and more!

Well I guess that its for now folks!  So as Spock used to say:



July calendar-finally!

Greetings everyone!
Yes I am finally posting after a two week hiatus.  What have I been doing the last two week you might ask?
I have been cleaning and packing up my house preparing to put it on the market for sale.  Yes I am one more California soon to be homeless in our "summer of recovery". 
Eventhough I might not have a home I am determined to keep the studio.  So I am finally posting the July schedule.  I must appologize to all my blog readers and the others instructors at the studio for not posting earlier but I have found the last two weeks a little daunting. 

So here is the Studio schedule minus a couple of weeks . And again I appologize.
