The perfect Saturday class! A lot of fun, some mischief, a relaxed atmosphere and a wonderful book project come together to make this irreverent take on the creatures alive in the woods. We’ll create an artist book inhabited by the creatures from our own mysterious beyond. Using an old book, library supplies, paper dolls, images of animals and birds, we’ll populate our village with characters fit for myth.

We will practice creating gorgeous nature prints using patina solutions on brass mesh, nature print on paper using paints, ink jet transfers, wire wrapping of objects to pages, creating with the mesh, and ways of adding texture to your pages with mica, spackle and glaze. Please check out the class samples from my other classes for additional examples of the wire mesh and nature techniques.

Kit fee $17
Includes a workbook, color copies for creating your characters, a piece of brass mesh, copper foil tape, eyelets, divider tabs, printmaking/drawing paper for transfers, ink jet images for practice, and a mica tile, along with other intriguing goodies I find as I flea market. My kits are always stuffed to the brim.
