Strange Little Book
Create
a quirky, unique little book using mostly recycled materials--no
stitching involved! In this fun and informal class you'll use weird
things like bizarre found photos, old teabags, coffee, old and odd book
and magazine pages, old embellishments, and miscellaneous do-dads.
You'll use cold connections to fasten the pages together in your own
eccentric way. You'll love the lovely and unusual little book you leave
with!
Tuesday, April 8, I"ll teach an evening class called "Waxing Literary with Charlotte."
Literary Charlotte
I’m excited to share with you how you can make a rich and
mysterious work of art by waxing an old book and incorporating a Frozen
Charlotte doll. You’ll make a 3-D art piece with encaustic medium, oil
paint, found objects, vintage papers, and embellishments. You’ll learn
how to incise, carve niches into the waxed book, and color the wax.
You’ll also learn how to add an aged or gothic touch to your work.
You'll leave with a unique mixed media work of art!
