Intuitive Abstract Collage with Wan Marsh

with artist Wan Marsh

Sat. Oct. 6th, 2018

(FILLED WITH WAIT LIST)

 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.

Monthly Book Arts Workshop

Wed. Oct. 10th 1-3

In our October book-a-month workshop, DJ will help you get more organized! You’ll make a sturdy little journal book that features tiered slots inside the front and back covers. The slots serve as pockets to hold receipts, tickets, business cards, and more.

This book is just the right size for tucking into your purse or tote to help you organize shopping, travel, birthdays, decorating ideas, art projects, or just a place to organize all those random notes and papers that get lost in the bottom of your purse. After completing the book, you’ll have an opportunity to decorate the cover with collage elements to illustrate your book’s theme or as just a personal artful expression.

We supply all the materials for this workshop

Cost $45.
Fabric Faces Fri. Nov. 16th 10-4

Creating Fabric Faces

with Susan Edmonson

Friday, Nov. 16th 10-4 $80.

This class is fun on so many levels!  It was inspired from Melissa Averinos new book, “Making Faces in Fabric”.  If you have taken Susan’s Machine Quilting Classes this is a great addition to improve those skills.  We will first create a simple (funny) face in the morning using fabric collage techniques (and NO you do not have to be a portrait artist!) using unique fabrics, then in the afternoon we will machine quilt all the details such as eyelashes, cheeks, hair, etc.  It is easy to create a face if you don’t have to make it look like anyone special.  Just play and have fun with it!!!  These could be made into tote bags, placemats, small wall hangings, pillows and more!  This will be a no stress day of playing with fabric and threads! It’s like eating potato chips!  You can’t make just one…

It’s really going to be fun!  These faces are not to be taken too seriously, they are just for fun!

In the past, eclectic mix of  instructors & workshops
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.
