Upcoming Events and Classes

A New Year, and Ode to last year! This months Mixed Media has a focus on pattern paper, and how we can incorporate it as layers upon layers and journal with an artistic flow and grungy feel. We'll be using SCRUPTIOUS 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 pattern paper from Simply Stated and arrange two side by side journal pages that have loads of space for our thoughts and journaling to add by incorporating flips and folds, lots of secret places to write or to add photos and ephemera but still obtain a private yet grungy presentation. We'll be using some great ephemera and diecuts from AALL and Create as well as Elizabeth Crafts Designs which will be provided in your kit. If you are on the fence about mixed media, come join Jo and dive into a realm of artistic freedom, and sharpen your skills as you walk through a step by step session of mixed media madness! Designed by Jo. $38 This class is offered as a live virtual class, allowing you to participate and interact if needed as well as ask questions and follow along safely from the comfort of your home.
