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.
Please also note that on December 3rd Ingrid Pomeroy will be teaching a new class called Steampunk Christmas! Wow I wonder what that looks like. On the 4th Pat Sheldon is going to teach all you knitters out there how to knit Christmas ornaments!

I will bring all other supplies. Please note that if you intend to use crackle paste you must bring either canvas board or another rigid surface a stretched canvas will not do.
