This boho dream catcher wall hanging is fun and easy to make. The instructor will have beads, trims, ribbons, hoops, and some feathers but if you have specific colors you would like to work with, you should bring them. Yarn, ribbon, decorative trims will all work. For health reasons, please only bring store-bought feathers. Materials fee $10 payable to instructor. If you have a glue gun, please bring it. You can use a doily for your center if you have it-  make sure you bring a hoop (like a wooden embroidery hoop) that will fit it. The materials fee will be adjusted for students bringing their own materials. 

This class will be introduction and exploration of gelli printmaking and  simple bookmaking. 

In this first part of this workshop, participants will explore the many uses of Geli plates (mono printing without a press using soft gel “plates”).  We will explore both the uses of texture as well as working with stencils. Materials will be available for participants to make their own stencils and  will learn how to create layered designs as well as “narrative“ pieces. Other demonstrations include: rainbow roll for background as well as using gel mediums for transparency. No experience necessary. Whether you want to create designs for bookmaking and collage or work on a narrative piece, this workshop offers a variety of techniques. 

The second part of this workshop is the introduction of simple bookmaking techniques using the papers students have designed previously .

This workshop offers a balance between creative experimentation with a variety of materials along with developing concrete skills in the book arts. Using papers that students themselves have designed is very satisfying. All materials included, no experience necessary.

In this gentle introduction to basic weaving, we'll be working with colorful yarns and Y-shaped branches. Please bring one sturdy Y-shaped branch approximately 1/2" or larger in diameter. The branch should be cut green (not dead, dry, brittle) and free of leaves. If you do not have access to branches, please let us know and the instructor will provide them. The instructor will also have lots of pretty yarn but you can bring any yarn you choose. Various styles and textures of yarn look good together in a weaving. Materials fee of $5 payable to instructor in class.
