Workshops

I'm settled into my loft in Haverhill and am ready to go with workshops and 6 and 8 week classes! The place is looking great and I have plenty of space now for students, students, students.....

Here is the fall schedule:                            

HAND-MADE PAPER - two day class                          5 students maximum

Oct. 18 – 19    - 1:00 – 4:00 pm each day

Learn how to 'pull' sheets of paper as well as how to cast paper. This exciting workshop will unlock the magic that is paper-making! Be sure to bring an apron, preferably water-proof, and some pressed and dried flowers, leaves and grasses.

$70.00  pp                 Materials fee:  $20.00

BOOK IN A BOX - three day class                               8 students maximum

Sept 27, Oct. 4 & 11 – 1:00 – 3:30 pm each day

In this class, we will create a wonderful book and its accompanying box. The accordion book may be any theme you wish, family, flowers, pets, poetry, and anything else your heart desires. It can  celebrate a certain person and maybe be used as a gift for them. Bring anything you can find, pictures  from  magazines, text, old letters (bring photocopies, not originals)  that will make your book special. Or….. no theme at all, just miscellaneous goodies we find. I will have hundreds of fun things to add to your book.

We will be collaging the box the first day, and making the book the next two days, so you will have time to find ideas (and 'stuff'!) of your own to include.

$55.00  pp              Materials fee:  $15.00
SILK-PAINTING - two day class                                6 students maximum

Sept. 20 & 21  -  1:00 – 4:00 pm  each day

Learn to paint on silk with cold water dyes that can be 'set' with just an iron. Working with water-soluble resist, silk fabric and beautiful dyes, we'll create  colorful works of art. On the first day, we will practice with using resist and make a 'sampler' with all the methods of using the dyes. Then we will work on a design for the scarf you will be creating the following class.

 You will take home a scarf of your own design as well as the wooden stretchers so you may continue to work at this great art!

$55.00  pp            Materials fee:  $25.00

CARDS AND BOXES - one-day class in time for the holidays                8   students  maximum

Nov. 8 – 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Give Hallmark some heavy competition with this card and gift box workshop! You can learn to make unique cards for every occasion, pop-ups, folded book cards and collage cards, as well as one-of-a-kind boxes for small gifts. Very simple to do using unusual papers, tape, stamps, punches, scissors and some glue (not to mention a great imagination!)

$35.00  pp               Materials fee:  $8.00
Workshops may be cancelled if there are too few applications.
