Just discovered this song by Alanis- it's beautiful, be sure to read the lyrics...

New Art Book Workshop

I've been so obsessed with making jewelry lately, but I had to come up for air long enough to pack for my upcoming classes in Fort Collins & Virginia.
I'm teaching a brand new class called "The construction of an art book, metal, canvas & mesh no sew binding". I just started packing up kits last night & I can't wait to teach this class, it's going to be so much fun!
The concept was born out of frustration, I'm either making "soft" art, using paint, gooey stuff, gesso, paper, oil sticks.... or "hard" art- working with metal, drills, nails, larger assemblage pieces. What usually happens is right in the middle of a project I start missing the other medium & I'm always going back & fourth between the soft & hard projects.... (I know, it sounds bizarre)! Anyway, this book was born out of that frustration, so now I get to work with both at the same time.
This class filled up almost immediately at Art & Soul in Portland, but there are still a few spaces let at The Artists Nook & at Art & Soul in VA. And I have to say, these are 2 of my favorite places to teach- Colorado in the spring- there is nothing like it & Virginia is usually my only chance to be near the ocean all year. Hope to see you there, gotta get back to packing now!

Jewelry

I've been absolutely obsessed with making jewelry lately, here is a sneak peak... it will all be listed for sale here very soon.

ITALY!

And....... if you can't make it to Fort Collins, there's always ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited about this trip, I can't even stand it! Here are just a few pictures of what we'll be doing.

The Artists Nook in Spring!!!!!!!!!!!

Please join us, April 30- May 2 for these classes!


There isn't anywhere that I'd rather be than here in the spring...(okay, well maybe Paris, but that isn't really an option at the moment)!
