Amy Flowers is BACK!!

Join Altered and Mixed Media Artist, Amy Flowers for ONE DAY ONLY – March 3rd!

Amy will be teaching these three amazing classes!

Rocky Road Canvas Collage

Explore the possibilities of a textured, rich surface for collage—work with newsprint, tissue & cheesecloth on a stretched canvas to build depth. Learn all about what gesso & matte medium can do for a painted collage surface! We’ll cover our canvas with matte medium & tissue, then coat with gesso & acrylics.  Embed with imagery & findings for a seamless collage that glows, using the same techniques that Amy works into her professional paintings.  Sat. 9-12:00, all supplies, $40
 

The Bee’s Knees

Discover the joys of beeswax in this workshop!  We’ll learn all the ways beeswax can work for the artist, including use as a binder for collage, creating lovely patinas on paper, & creating depth & transparency over embedded findings.  You’ll start small, playing with an ATC size collage, then move up to a stretched canvas frame–continue to explore the effects of beeswax on layers of paper & findings, finishing with a splash of colored wax over your collage works.  Your artwork will have depth & mystery—and smell so divine!  Sat. 1:00-3:00, all supplies included, $45/student

Altered States

Welcome to the world of altered books!  Come explore all the cool things you can do to an old book & give it new life.  Play with Claudine’s Studio Acrylics, Golden gesso, glazes, embossing, collage, cutting, tearing, folding–there are no limits to what or how you can alter these books.  We’ll explore techniques with mediums & gels, including an easy image transfer using Golden’s Soft Gel.  You may bring a hard cover book if you wish, but I’ll have plenty to choose from.  We’ll also share our books in class, allowing for even more artistic inspiration!  Sat. 3:30-6:00, all supplies included, $45/student
