Wed. Aug. 22nd 1-3 with DJ

In our next book-a-month workshop, you’ll learn a binding structure called “dos-à-dos” – French for back-to-back (which also resulted in the distorted translation, do-si-do, the square-dancing move). A dos-à-dos book combines two separate books into one double binding. They face in opposite directions with a shared cover.

 This style is great for dual purposes – like notes in one book and drawings in the other, or paired themes like daydream journal and night-dream journal, or as a love-note journal to share with your sweetheart. 

 You’ll also learn a sewing style called “bow tie” – a form of long stitch (or running stitch) knotted in the center.

Join DJ for another unique bookmaking afternoon  – guaranteed back-to-back fun! Only $45 and all supplies provided. Call Random Arts to secure your seat now.

Create your own Derby car; not from pine wood or a soap box, but from a child's shoe

on Sat. August. 25th with Bobbie Polizzi. 


Put your imagination into gear as you learn to transform an old shoe into a whimsical race car with wheels, driver and anything else that moves you. You will get your mechanical thrills as you learn to attach wheels and you will explore decorative embellishing tricks and paint techniques. And of course, your auto will need a driver. 

At the end of the workshop we will test their mettle and aerodynamics with a race to the finish line.  Full day of instruction $80.

Intuitive Abstract Collage with Wan Marsh

with artist Wan Marsh

Sat. Oct. 6th, 2018

 In this class of creative play, we will explore many aspects of overcoming the fear of facing the blank canvas and beginning an abstract collage. We will learn composition and color choices for successful creation. These tools may be used over and over in all types of mediums. The demonstrations will be done in stages and started in black and white. Color will be introduced in glazes and color washes. This is how we will achieve successful work. This workshop is for all levels, all you need is an open mind.

We will be experimenting with composition and also learn techniques that will encourage creative energy flow. Wan will be sharing all her secrets!

You will complete at least one mixed media collage to take away and enjoy!

10am till 4pm $150.

has brought students
from as far away as Florida, Georgia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Colorado,
California, New Jersey,Tennessee, and of
course, South Carolina  to
   our  studio in Saluda.

My gosh, we even had someone come from England!
And some of our instructors traveled from
California, Canada, England &  Australia, as well as
those who live in our own little mountain town of Saluda
and towns and villages nearby.
Read on, and you
will discover that our plans for
this year are equally as exciting as years past.
